OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
14V241000
Equipment Adaptive/mobility
Reported May 8, 2014 · Turtle Top
Summary
Turtle Top is recalling certain model year 2013 Odyssey and Van Terra transit buses manufactured April 11, 2013, through December 5, 2013, and equipped with certain Ricon S series and K series wheelchair lifts with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
Consequence
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.
Remedy
Turtle Top will notify owners, and Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014. Owners may contact Turtle Top customer service at 1-800-296-2105 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin@wabtec.com. Note: This campaign is a continuation of 13V-263.
