A wheelchair lift defect can cause injury to passengers and bystanders, according to a recall announcement by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Glaval Bus Division is recalling several 2007-2010 model transit buses with wheelchair lift defects. The recalled defective buses are equipped with certain Ricon S-series and K-series L-model wheelchair lifts that have a software defect which could cause the lift platform to stop at an angle, which could cause a person in a wheelchair to tip over, posing a fall hazard to that person and bystanders.
