2006–2012 Coach & Equipment Phoenix & 2007, 2009 Coach & Equipment Metro-Lite recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Coach and Equipment is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Phoenix transit buses manufactured August 2006, through November 2012; and 2007 and 2009 Metro Lite transit buses manufactured January 2007, through December 2009. These buses are equipped with Ricon manufactured wheelchair lifts which have an optional armored pendant cable.
