12 units affected
On certain buses equipped with a Ricon platform wheelchair lift, the handheld pendant control wiring protective cover could contact the hydraulic pump power lug. As the protective cover is conductive, this would result in a high current short-circuit and cause a fire, possibly resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be provided with a supplemental cover kit and a non-conductive cover for the control wiring.

On certain buses equipped with a Braun wheelchair lift, over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned. As a result, 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 user could fall and sustain injury. Correction: Authorized Braun service facilities will replace the outer barrier latch, bracket and clevis pin.

On certain vehicles equipped with a Carrier GenV EM-1 evaporator unit, the blower motor fuse assembly may allow the fuse to loosen over time, which could result in high resistance and arcing. If sufficient arcing occurs the fuse holder may melt, which could cause smoke and/or fire. A vehicle fire could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Carrier will provide a retrofit kit along with installation instructions.
