Defect Summary | Corp. micro bird has notified nhtsa about a defect in certain model year 2007 through 2010 school buses manufactured between december 2007 and march 2010 fitted with ricon public use s and k series wheelchair lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | Micro bird is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall began on m,arch 31, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or micro bird at 1-819-477-2012. | |||||||||||||||

Defect Summary | Certain model year 2006 through 2010 girardin g5 and mbii and model year 2010 and 2011 micro bird g5 and mb ii school buses manufactured from january 2006 through april 5, 2011, fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 131, school bus pedestrian safety devices. the 4-way warning lights do not have an alarm to alert the driver that the stop arm did not deploy when the 4 red lights are activated. | |||||||||||||||
