⚠️ What's wrong
New flyer is recalling model year 2002-2006 D60HF diesel 60 foot high floor transit buses equipped with a lift-u wheelchair lift, or have aftermarket lift-u control boxes installed. A defect in the control box could cause the outboard ramp barrier to fold in toward a lift passenger.
