Coach and Equipment is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Phoenix transit buses manufactured August 2006, through November 2012; and 2007 and 2009 Metro Lite transit buses manufactured January 2007, through December 2009. These buses are equipped with Ricon manufactured wheelchair lifts which have an optional armored pendant cable. The cable may have been installed such that it doesn't clear the wheelchair lift and without a protective cover, or a misinstalled protective cover.
The cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheel chair lift causing a short circuit that could result in a fire.
Ricon will be conducting this recall on behalf of Coach and Equipment Mfg Corp. Ricon will notify the affected owners and will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. This recall campaign began on December 11, 2012. Owners may contact Coach and Equipment Mfg Corp at 1-800-946-7513 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
