Recall 12V-173: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: Transportation collaborative incorporated (Tci) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 trans tech buses equipped with braun century-2 and vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned. A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop.
