What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Mid Bus CSD-7450R-C buses manufactured between September 11, 2006, and October 25, 2007. The recall affects 17 vehicles equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift featuring an optional armored pendant cable.

The defect involves the positioning of the armored cable, which may fail to clear the wheelchair lift. If the cable contacts the power lug and lacks a proper nonconductive cover, a short circuit may occur, potentially resulting in a fire.

Owners will be notified to take their vehicles to a Mid Bus dealer for inspection. If necessary, Ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall began on July 3, 2013. Owners may contact Collins at 1-800-533-1850 ext. 424 or Ricon at 1-800-322-2884.
