Kingmor Recalls IC CE School Buses with Cracking Wheelchair Lifts

Kingmor is recalling 2006-2014 IC CE school buses equipped with certain Ricon wheelchair lifts because the platform side plates may crack, posing an injury risk.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in a wheelchair lift that poses a risk of injury to the operator, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Kingmor Supply, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 IC CE school buses manufactured between January 1, 2006, and October 31, 2014. These vehicles are equipped with specific Ricon Corporation wheelchair lifts, including models S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510.

The recall addresses a defect where the platform side plate of the wheelchair lift may crack. If the side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

The recall began on December 18, 2014. Kingmor will notify owners, and Ricon will supply supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced free of charge. Owners may contact Kingmor customer service at 1-800-782-4474 or Ricon at 1-800-322-2884.
