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 vehicle defect where a wheelchair lift platform may rise above the floor height, creating a risk of injury to users, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Eldorado National-Kansas is recalling certain 2012-2018 Goshen Impulse, GCII, and Pacer shuttle buses equipped with Ricon S-Series and K-Series Wheelchair lifts. The affected lift models are K200, K201, K550, K551, S200, S550, and S551. The recall involves 73 vehicles.
The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use. This failure allows the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 403, "Platform Lift Systems." If the platform stops above the vehicle floor, a wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.
Eldorado will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will replace the lift positioning input cam free of charge. The recall began on March 29, 2019. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
