Defect: Elkhart Coach (Elkhart) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Elkhart coach model shuttle buses manufactured November 2006, through July 2012. The affected buses are equipped with a Ricon manufactured wheelchair lift which may have an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
Risk: If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and, if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed nonconductive cover, a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
Fix: Elkhart will notify owners and direct them to contact Ricon. Ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit with instructions, free of charge. The recall began during August 2013. Owners may contact Elkhart at 1-574-264-5179 ext. 113 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000.
