The problem

On certain transit buses, the spot welds which hold the wheelchair ramp hinge assembly together can fail allowing the ramp to separate, when deployed under load, from the bus frame.

The risk

Separation of the ramp from the vehicle could result in injury to passengers on the ramp.

The fix

Dealers will add new hardware to the hinges which will make the spot-welding redundant. The recall began on february 15, 2006. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4874.
