2006 Blue Bird A3EE 2803S & 2006 Blue Bird Bbcv 2610S + 1 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Obs is recalling 3 ricon wheelchair lifts which it installed on my 2006 blue bird and chevrolet Express school buses. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
💥 The risk
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
🔧 The fix
Obs is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E095). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or obs at 1-330-453-3725.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
