    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Turtle top is recalling certain model year 2009 transit and shuttle buses equipped with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts. The wheelchair lifts contain defective software that controls the lift up function. If the lift switch is released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel for approximately 1 second before stopping, and may travel past the floor level.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    The wheelchair may move during lift operation and the unsecured occupant, could be injured.
