- The problem
- Kingmor supply, inc., Is recalling 30 ricon wheelchair lifts which it installed on certain my 2005 through 2008 ic cesb school 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.
- The risk
- The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
- The fix
- Kingmor supply is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or kingmor supply toll-free at 1-800-782-4474.

1 complaints about the 2008 IC Cesb
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
This complaint is for a school bus. Two of the double pane window panels on the service door have some condensation between them. The condensation will not go away. This started in june 2011. All the same school buses in our town have had the same issue. When the condensation does dry, it leaves a white coating on the glass between the panes which is difficult to see through, creating a safety issue. The windows must be replaced ---at a high cost. It seems the windows are defective. *Kb
