On certain school buses equipped with a Ricon S-Series wheelchair lift, the platform could potentially crack due to bent knuckle link arms and/or defective bearing. Overtime, the platform could separate of the rear portion of the pivot plate making the lift inoperable and putting the lift operator at risk of injury. Correction: Owners will need to make an appointment with the local Ricon Dealer to have the lift inspected and repaired.
A failure of this component (accessories) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain school buses equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift, the lift platform sides may crack, which could cause the lift to lean against the vehicle door(s) and potentially fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, putting the lift operator at risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect lift platforms for cracks and repair as necessary, and install a repair kit.

On certain school buses equipped with an I-6 engine, the high pressure engine oil line (between the cylinder head and the high pressure pump) may fail. This would cause an engine oil leak, which could result in sudden engine shut down. Lost vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In addition, oil may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, which could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the high pressure engine oil line.

On certain buses equipped with a Ricon F9 series cassette wheelchair lift, an improperly manufactured switch in the wheelchair lift restraint buckle may allow operation of the lift with the safety belt not fully latched. If the belt is not properly fastened, a wheelchair may not be adequately protected against unwanted movement, resulting a fall risk, potentially causing serious injury or death. Correction: The manufacturer will provide instructional information and warning decals.

On certain school buses, the wires in the headlight electrical harness may have been installed in the incorrect connector cavities resulting in a degraded low beam intensity. Insufficient low beam intensity increases the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, remove the wire terminals from the connector and re-install in the correct location.

On certain school buses, a production change may end-up reducing the effective life of the stop arm lights. Should the lights fail, visibility of a stopped bus would be affected. This could increase the risk of a child or pedestrian being struck by a passing motorist, causing severe personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the safety stop arm light kit.
