What's wrong?
The public-use lift on the 2008-2010 Mci D4000, D4500, and D4505 motor coaches is the wheelchair lift used to raise and lower an occupant between the ground and the coach floor. Its restraint belt is supposed to act as an interlock: the lift should stay still unless the belt tongue is fully inserted and latched in the buckle.
On affected coaches, the belt tongue can be pushed into the buckle without fully engaging the latch. To the operator, the restraint belt can look latched even though the latch has not locked. Because the lift control still allows operation, the platform can move with an occupant aboard while the restraint belt is not actually secured.
There is no warning sign before failure. The visible clue is limited to the belt appearing latched, so the operator has to confirm the tongue is fully engaged in the buckle before running the lift.
Who's affected?
Covers D4000, D4500, and D4505 coaches across the 2008, 2009, and 2010 model years, all tied to the same adaptive mobility equipment component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the wheelchair lift moves while the restraint belt is not properly buckled, the lift user faces an injury risk. Use the lift only with the restraint belt buckled, and follow the warning decal and training instructions when provided. Repair will be free at any franchised Mci dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2010 Mci D4000, D4500, or D4505 motor coach is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Mci dealer or Ricon customer service before using the public-use lift.
- Request the warning decal and DVD-based training aid for the restraint-belt latch issue.
- Reference recall number 10V114 when you call about the lift restraint belt.
- Inspect that the restraint-belt tongue is fully engaged and latched in the buckle before operating the lift.
What happens at the repair
For this recall, Mci is working with Ricon on the remedy for the public use lift restraint belt issue. The source remedy says Ricon provides customers with a warning decal and a DVD training aid for proper lift operation.
