NHTSA Campaign 13V256000

EQUIPMENT

Issued by Collins Bus Corporation · Reported Jun 20, 2013 · 17 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Collins Bus Corporation (Collins) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Mid Bus CSD-7450R-C buses manufactured September 11, 2006, through October 25, 2007 and 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.

Consequence

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.

Remedy

Collins will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicle to their Mid Bus dealer where it will be inspected. If needed, Ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall began on July 3, 2013. Owners may contact Collins at 1-800-533-1850 ext. 424, or Ricon at 1-800-322-2884.
