The short version

Ameritrans Bus, Inc. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Ameritrans Bus, Inc. is recalling one model year 2013 M2-Series bus equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.

WHY IT MATTERS

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 non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.

WHAT TO DO

Ameritrans will notify the owner and Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge.
