Summary:
      Blue Bird Body Company "Blue Bird" is recalling one 2019 Blue Bird Vision bus equipped with a Ricon S-Series Titanium Wheelchair lift. The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
Consequence:
      If the wheelchair lift platform raises above the height of the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user could fall inwards toward the vehicle, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy:
      Blue Bird has notified the owner and Ricon will replace the wheelchair lift positioning input cam, free of charge. The recall began March 4, 2019. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R19ZP-NSB.
