IT WAS IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH OUT A FIX, BUT NOW I FEEL IT IS GETTING WORSE AND IS NOW A BAD SAFETY ISSUE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, WHILE CRUISING, AT AN INTERSECTION OR ANYTIME IT FEELS LIKE IT. AND IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

PUTTING ANY ELECTRICAL IPOD, PHONE, LAPTOP OR ETC. ON PASSENGER SEAT SETS OFF SERVICE AIR BAG. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THAT PROBLEM. ALL I GET FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS THAT GM SAYS DON'T DO THAT. WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT THERE IS NO AIRBAG PROTECTION FOR THEM. I HAVE A CHRYSLER ALSO WITH PROBLEM AS THIS. *J…

VAN-CON HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 HANDICAP SCHOOL BUSES BUILT ON FORD AND CHEVY CHASSIS, FITTED WITH RICON PUBLIC USE LIFTS. THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE. RICON HAS DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO INSERT THE BELT TONGUE INTO THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FULLY ENGAGING THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT. IF THE RESTRAINT BELT TONGUE IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE RESTRAINT BELT BUCKLE, AND LATCHED, THE LIFT MAY OPERATE WITH AN OCCUPANT ON THE PLATFORM.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE USER OF THE LIFT COULD BE INJURED SHOULD THE LIFT MOVE WITHOUT THE RESTRAINT BELT PROPERLY BUCKLED.
Remedy: VAN-CON IS WORKING WITH RICON AND RICON WILL BE HANDLING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. PLEASE SEE RICON'S DEFECT REPORT 09E-060. RICON WILL PROVIDE CUSTOMERS WITH A WARNING DECAL AND A DVD-BASED TRAINING AID. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT RICON CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-322-2884 OR BY EMAIL AT WWW.DMATA@WABTEC.COM.
