18V-577 Open recall Aug 30, 2018

Brown Industries, LLC

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

Brown Industries, LLC (Brown) is recalling certain 2017-2018 American Heritage Trolley buses, equipped with certain Ricon S-Series and K-Series Titanium Wheelchair Lifts, models K200, K201, K550, K551, S200, S2201, S550 and S551. The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."

Risk: If the wheelchair platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy: American Trolley will notify owners and Ricon dealers will replace the defective input cams, free of charge. The recall began September 5, 2019. Owners may contact American Trolley customer service at 1-800-255-6827. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
