What is wrong

Coach & equipment is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2007 phoenix shuttle buses manufactured from march 2005 through june 2007 and equipped with ricon s and k series platform style wheelchair lifts. The vertical support arms were improperly welded.

What could happen

In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations it may not be possible to close the lift door causing the vehicle interlocks to remain engaged preventing movement of the vehicle or the ability to load or unload passengers with disabilities from the vehicle.

Coach & equipment will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during july 2010. Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or coach & equipment at 1-315-536-2321.
