Details

What's wrong: The affected buses are equipped with a ricon manufactured wheelchair lift which may have an optional armored pendant cable. The cable may have been installed such that it doesn't clear the wheelchair lift and without a protective cover, or a misinstalled protective cover.

Why it matters: If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.

The fix: Starcraft will notify owners and direct them to contact ricon. Ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit with instructions, free of charge. The recall began during June 2013.
