The problem
Goshen coach is recalling 746 my 2005-2006 pacer ii, gc ii, sentinel, and euroshuttle buses equipped with braun platform lifts for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "Platform lift installations in motor vehicles." A passenger can approach the exposed lift doorway without the audible alarm alerting them of their proximity to the threshold.
The risk
Should the threshold warning system fail to operate, the lift user can fall from the vehicle and be seriously injured.
The fix
Goshen coach is working with braun to have the doorway lift fixed free of charge (please see 06e094). Owners may contact goshen coach at 937-596-6849 or braun corporation at 1-800-946-7513.
