Daimler Buses North Carolina LLC "Daimler" is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Sprinter Mini-buses equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
Daimler will notify owners and Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall began on August 6, 2013. More information can be obtained by contacting Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin"wabtec.com.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY: 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
