2005–2007 Eldorado MST & 2005–2007 Eldorado MST II + 1 more recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Eldorado national - california (enc) is recalling 21 my 2005-2007 MST, MST II and Transmark buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts manufactured from april 2005 to june 2007. The lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift system accessible for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.

💥 The risk

A lift occupant CAN be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
