   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 transit buses equipped with braun century-2 and vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned. See the above list for the affected models.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair’s occupant could fall and sustain injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers, free of charge. The safety recall began on june 7, 2012. Owners may contact startrans at 1-800-642-4889.

   Equipment

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans is recalling certain model year 2006 and 2007 candidate, candidate II, senator hd, trolley, president, senator, and senator II transit buses equipped with trans/air ta73 evaporators. The evaporator utilizes a power resistor to regulate blower speed. Should a short occur in the "low or medium speed" circuit while the blower is in high speed, the short will cause the supply voltage to feedback through the resistor to ground, not drawing enough current to trip the fuse.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This would cause the resistor temperature to rise to a point where it will melt and possibly ignite the plastic blower housing to which it is mounted. The overheating can result in a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Trans/air, in cooperation with startrans, will install a thermal shutdown device in series with the speed resistors. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on january 11, 2011. Owners may contact trans/air warranty and service center at 1-800-673-2446.

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans bus is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 candidate, candidate II, senator, senator hd, president, trolley, senator II, and sentinal transit buses manufactured from december 2007 through december 18, 2009 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans bus is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The safety recall began on july 12, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or startrans bus at 1-574-642-0811.
