Defect

The wheelchair lift may be missing maintenance safety pins and/or the wheelchair lift cylinders may not be the proper length, preventing the proper use of maintenance safety pins.

With either the maintenance safety pins missing or not able to be used, the wheelchair lift may not be safely stowed in place, increasing the risk of injury to those working on, or around, the lift.
Remedy
Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will add the safety pins and/or verify that they work properly, as needed, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 8, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888.
