Recall 10V-257: 2010 IC Bus BE, 2009–2011 IC Bus CE and 2 more
NAVISTAR, INC recall for equipment adaptive/mobility, reported to NHTSA on Jun 14, 2010, covering about 20 vehicles.
The problem
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 ic ce, fe, re, and be model non school buses manufactured from december 10, 2007 through january 12, 2010 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
The risk
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
The fix
Navistar is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. The safety recall began on july 1, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
