  1. 13V067000Received . 1,858 units.

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Startrans Trolley, Sentinel, Senator HD, Senator, Candidate, C2, S2, PS2, and President transit buses equipped with Ricon manufactured wheelchair lifts which have an optional armored pendant cable. The cable may have been installed such that it doesn't clear the wheelchair lift and without a protective cover, or a misinstalled protective cover.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheel chair lift causing a short circuit that could result in a fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Ricon will be conducting this recall on behalf of Supreme. Ricon will notify the affected owners and will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. The recall began on March 8, 2013. Owners may contact Supreme at 1-800-642-4889 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000.

  2. 10V562000Received . 2,393 units.

    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.

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    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.

  4. 08V627000Received . 4,409 units.

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Startrans is recalling 4,409 my 2004-2008 senator and candidate shuttle buses built on ford or chevrolet chassis and 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.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Startrans is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or startrans at 877-258-1392.
