Recall 09V-095: 2006–2007 Eldorado Aeroelite, 2006–2007 Eldorado Aerotech and 3 more
ATLANTIC BUS SALES recall for equipment adaptive/mobility, reported to NHTSA on Mar 20, 2009, covering about 42 vehicles.
The problem
Atlantic bus sales is recalling 42 ricon wheelchair lifts which it installed on certain my 2006 and 2007 eldorado and glaval transit buses. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
The risk
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
The fix
Atlantic bus sales is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (Please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or atlantic bus sales at 1-954-941-7722.
