The problem
Trans Tech Bus is recalling certain model year 2013 SC139DSFP500 school buses equipped with certain Ricon S-series and K-series wheelchair lifts with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
The risk
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.
What to do
Trans Tech Bus will notify owners and Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. The recall began on June 18, 2014. Owners may contact Trans Tech Bus customer service at 1-845-988-2333, or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin@wabtec.com.
