Defect Description
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2010-2012 Starcraft Bus Quest and Prodigy school buses manufactured January 13, 2010, to November 17, 2011 equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
Consequence / Hazard
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
Proposed Solution
Starcraft Bus will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began January 9, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-219-533-5934, or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
