Volvo when the lift's outer barrier is fully deployed, it may not withstand a sufficient amount of force, which could cause it to fail.
The short version
Volvo Bus Corporation reported a problem with the equipment adaptive/mobility wheelchair lift/ramp. Here is what owners need to know.
When the lift's outer barrier is fully deployed, it may not withstand a sufficient amount of force, which could cause it to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 403, "Platform Lift Systems" and 404, "Platform Lift Installations."
In the event that a mobility device pushes into the outer barrier, the barrier may fail, increasing the risk of injury for the lift occupant.
Volvo Bus will reinforce the outer barrier with additional supports, free of charge.
