Equipment adaptive/mobility

What is wrong
On certain transit buses built on ford e450 chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts, the vertical support arms were improperly welded.
Risk
During passenger operations it may not be possible to close the lift door causing the vehicle interlocks to remain engaged preventing movement of the buses or the ability to load or unload passengers with disabilities from the vehicle.
Remedy
Ricon is conducting this recall (please see 06e008000) and will replace the two vertical arms even if only one arm is cracked free of charge. Owners may contact glaval bus at 574‑262‑2212 or ricon at 1‑818‑267‑3000.
