IC CORPORATION recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Feb 24, 2004, covering about 1,589 vehicles.
The problem
On certain "special needs" school buses equipped with sur-loc "l" wheelchair tracks, the lift mounting bolts could corrode if moisture occurs in the treated plywood floor.
The risk
This could reduce the function of the track or the strength of the lift mounting bolts resulting in personal injury to the occupants.

Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ic at 1-800-843-5615.
