Defect

NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007, 2009, AND 2011 IC CESB SCHOOL BUSES EQUIPPED WITH BRAUN CENTURY-2 AND VISTA-2 WHEELCHAIR LIFTS. OVER TIME, AND WITH FREQUENT USE, THE ROLL STOP LATCHES ON THE OUTER BARRIER MAY BECOME BENT OR MISALIGNED.

Consequence

A WHEELCHAIR OCCUPANT MAY DEFEAT OR RIDE OVER THE INSUFFICIENTLY LATCHED ROLL STOP. IF THIS OCCURS WHEN THE LIFT PLATFORM IS IN AN ELEVATED POSITION, THE WHEELCHAIR’S OCCUPANT COULD FALL AND SUSTAIN INJURY.

Remedy

NAVISTAR HAS REPORTED THAT ALL THE AFFECTED BUSES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BY AUTHORIZED BRAUN DEALERS. THEREFORE, AN OWNER NOTIFICATION NOTICE IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NAVISTAR AT 1-260-461-1890.
