Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

58 units potentially affected
The defect: Elkhart Coach (Elkhart) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Elkhart coach model shuttle buses manufactured November 2006, through July 2012. The affected buses are equipped with a Ricon manufactured wheelchair lift which may have an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
The risk: If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and, if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed nonconductive cover, a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
The remedy: Elkhart will notify owners and direct them to contact Ricon. Ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit with instructions, free of charge. The recall began during August 2013. Owners may contact Elkhart at 1-574-264-5179 ext. 113 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000.
