What is wrong
Rifled air conditioning (rac) is recalling 6 my 2001 chevrolet express private transport, my 2005 thomas built fs65, my 2006-2007 monitour bus, and my 2007 c-2 school bus vehicles built on freightliner, and GM chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
The risk
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
The fix
Rac is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e095). Owners may contact ricon at 1-[removed] or rac at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
