Recalled October 21, 2016 · NHTSA recall 16V765000 · IC BUS

Hazard

If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 28, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590, or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884.
