Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Goshen is recalling 309 my 2005-2007 gcii, pacer II, pacer LTD, and sentinel 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.

Missing reflectors could lead to reduced visibility of the bus increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Goshen will mail the required reflectors along with installation instructions to owners. If the customer is uncomfortable in performing this procedure, they may take the bus to any goshen coach dealer to have the reflectors installed free of charge. The recall began on november 5, 2007.
