  Sur certains autobus munis d'une plate-forme élévatrice pour fauteils roulants Ricon série S, la plate-forme pourrait se fissurer en raison de bras articulés courbés ou d'un roulement défectueux (ou les deux). Au fil du temps, la plate-forme pourrait se séparer de la partie arrière de la plaque pivotante, ce qui rendrait la plate-forme élévatrice hors d'usage et entraînerait des risques de blessures pour la personne qui actionne la plate-forme élévatrice. Correction : Les propriétaires devront prendre un rendez-vous avec le concessionnaire Ricon local afin de faire inspecter et réparer la plate-forme élévatrice.

• EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY#14V599000en anglais seulement26 septembre 2014

  Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Glaval Universal, Primetime, Sport, Titan, and Titan II transit and shuttle buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to September 26, 2014, and equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.

  Risque: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

  Correctif: Forest River will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2014. Owners may contact Glaval customer service at 1-800-445-2825 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR#14V004000en anglais seulement8 janvier 2014

  Glaval Bus is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Universal, Entourage, Concorde II, Titan, Titan II and Legacy transit buses manufactured June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2013, and equipped with a Ford 5.4L or 6.8L engine and a Trans/Air-brand air conditioner. In the affected vehicles, depending on the routing of the alternator harness, and the orientation of the heater hose spring clamp at the front of the intake manifold, the alternator harness may be pinched between the spring clamp and the air conditioner compressor mounting bracket.

  Risque: The charging system may fail which could lead to the vehicle stalling while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the spring clamp could pierce both the positive and negative wires of the alternator harness creating a short circuit which could result in a fire.

  Correctif: Glaval Bus will notify owners, and Trans/Air dealers will inspect the vehicles, correct the clamp installation and repair and reroute the alternator harness, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 22, 2014. Customers may contact Glaval at 1-574-262-2212.
