Defect
Atlantic bus sales is recalling 42 ricon wheelchair lifts which it installed on certain my 2006 and 2007 eldorado and glaval transit buses. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
Safety risk
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
