Issue

On certain buses equipped with a Ricon BayLift wheelchair lift, the outer barrier of the lift may not be strong enough. As a result, when the lift is fully deployed, the barrier may not support an occupant if their mobility device or wheelchair moves against it.

Safety risk

A wheelchair lift barrier that is not strong enough could create the risk of an injury.

Corrective actions

Motor Coach Industries (MCI) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to a Ricon authorized dealer or an MCI Service Centre to add a side barrier support feature to affected wheelchair lifts.

Background

Visit Transport Canada’s Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database for the original recall.
