Defect: Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 IC CE transit buses, 2008-2011 IC FE transit buses and 2009-2013 IC RE transit buses equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts by Ricon. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position. (excerpt)
Consequence: If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator. (excerpt)
Remedy: Navistar will notify the purchasers of the lifts, and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Note: These buses and wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recal (excerpt)
