OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
14V257000
Equipment Adaptive/mobility
Reported May 15, 2014 · Champion Bus, Inc.
Summary
Champion Bus, Inc. (Champion) is recalling certain model year 2013 Challenger transit buses manufactured January 7, 2013, through October 25, 2013, and equipped with certain Ricon S series and K series wheelchair lifts and 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 non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
Remedy
Champion will notify owners and Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall began on August 27, 2014. Owners may contact Champion customer service at 1-800-776-4943, or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000. Champion's number for this recall is 14E-010.
