Recall number 09V369000 · Recall details
Equipment adaptive/mobility
- What is wrong
- Certain buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, 'platform lift systems for motor vehicles.' the inner barrier interlock switch system in the lift baseplate may not detect the presence of a passenger (either wheelchair or standee) on the barrier and can allow the platform to move down more than one inch below floor level when occupied.
- Risk
- In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations, it may be possible for the wheelchair to tip backwards onto the platform if the user is backing onto the lift from inside the vehicle and has the small front wheels fully or partially on the inner barrier when the platform was lowered. A person standing could lose his or her balance if they were positioned fully or partly on the inner barrier when the platform was lowered. Either condition could cause personal injury.
- Remedy
- Champion bus is working with ricon to repair these wheelchair lifts (please see 06e101). Owners can contact ricon at 1‑800‑322‑2884 or champion bus at 1‑800‑331‑5761.

Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- On certain transit buses built on workhorse chassis and equipped with gm 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.
- Risk
- In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
- Remedy
- Chevrolet and workhorse are handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (please see 06v225 and 06v289).
