Defect Description

Kingmor Supply, Inc. (Kingmor) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 IC CE school buses manufactured from January 1, 2006, to October 31, 2014, and equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.

Safety Consequence

If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

Remedy

Kingmor will notify owners and Ricon will supply supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 18, 2014. Owners may contact Kingmor customer service at 1-800-782-4474, or Ricon at 1-800-322-2884.
