EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY:WHEELCHAIR LIFT/RAMP

Issued by Motor Coach Industries · Reported Feb 7, 2024 · 2,114 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain 2014-2018 D4000, 2013-2019 D4005, 2013-2023 D4500, 2013-2020 D4505, and 2021-2024 D45CRT coaches equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift. The red beacon lighting on the Threshold Warning System (TWS) may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."

Consequence

Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

MCI will work with Ricon to replace the TWS kits, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 21, 2024. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
