Recall 2018246

The issue

On certain school buses built on a Ford chassis and equipped with a wheelchair lift, the shift interlock may not prevent the wheelchair lift from operating while the vehicle gear shifter is in neutral or drive. If the vehicle were to move while the wheelchair lift is in operation, there would be an increased risk of injury. Correction: Daimler Trucks of North America Service Facilities will inspect the wheelchair lift wiring and repair as necessary.

Description (français)

Dans certains autobus scolaires munis d'un châssis Ford et d'une plateforme élévatrice de fauteuil roulant, le dispositif de verrouillage de transmission pourrait ne pas prévenir le fonctionnement de la plateforme lorsque la transmission se trouve au point mort ou en marche avant, ce qui pourrait accroître les risques de blessures si les véhicules devaient se déplacer pendant que la plateforme fonctionne. Mesure corrective : du personnel des installations d'entretien de Daimler Trucks of North America inspectera le câblage de la plateforme et effectuera les réparations qui s'imposent.
