    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Glaval Universal, Primetime, Sport, Titan, Titan II, Entourage, Legacy transit buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to April 29, 2016, 2015-2016 Elkhart ECE3, ECE4, ECG4 transit buses manufactured October 24, 2014, to September 9, 2015, and 2006-2016 Starcraft Bus Allstar, Allstar XL, Starlite, Quest, Quest XL, and StarTrans Senator II, Senator II HD, and PS/2 vehicles manufactured January 1, 2006, to April 29, 2016. These vehicles are equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts by Ricon. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack. Additionally, the lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the platform side plates crack or the platform mounting fails from out-of-position bearings, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the vehicle's doors are opened, the platform may fall onto the lift operator, increasing their risk of injury.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Forest River will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on July 7, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River's customer service at 1-800-348-7440, or Ricon customer service at 1-818-267-3000. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-05132016-0197.

    Equipment / Appliance / Air Conditioner

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Startrans is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 transit buses equipped with carrier genv em-1 evaporator units. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and a vehicle fire may occur.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Startrans will notify owners and provide information on how to obtain the retrofit kit from carrier along with repair instructions. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on april 18, 2011. (see carrier's recall campaign 11e-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1-800-793-4741 or startrans at 1- 877-258-1391.

    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.

    Startrans is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2009 transit buses manufactured between august 9, 2006 and june 25, 2009, equipped with trans/air air conditioning systems. Each trans/air system comes with an electrical kit and ec pc board which if improperly installed could overheat.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Overheating of the pc board could result in a fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Startrans will notify owners and the buses will be repaired by either startrans or trans/air free of charge. Please see trans/air's defect report 09e-042.
