Recall 2018513

The issue

On certain buses equipped with a Ricon S-Series or K-Series titanium wheelchair lift, the lift positioning input cam may fail. If this happens and the operator continues to press the "up" button, the platform could travel past the vehicle floor height, potentially causing a lift occupant to be tipped inwards toward the vehicle, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: a Ricon authorized dealer will perform the repairs.

Description (français)

Sur certains autobus dotés d'une plate­forme élévatrice pour fauteuils roulants S­Series ou K­Series Titanium de la firme Ricon, la came limitant la hauteur de levage pourrait se briser. Le cas échéant, si l'utilisateur continuait à presser sur le bouton de levage, la plate­forme pourrait se soulever au­delà du plancher du véhicule et faire basculer la personne se trouvant sur la plate­forme vers l'intérieur du véhicule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures. Mesure corrective : un détaillant Ricon autorisé va faire les réparations.
