Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Glaval bus is recalling 171my 2005-2006 universal, primetime, titan, and apollo transit and shuttle buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "Platform lift systems for 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.
- The risk
- A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
- The fix
- Glaval bus is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or glaval bus at 1-574-262-2212.
- The problem
- On certain buses equipped with seat belts, the t-nut which holds the seat leg to the floor track is missing machined bevels.
- The risk
- In the event of a crash, without the bevels, the sharp edge could come through the floor track increasing the risk of injury to seat occupant.
- The fix
- Owners will be provided with the necessary parts to replace the t-nuts free of charge. The recall began on march 24, 2006. Owners may contact glaval bus at 1-800-445-2825.
