| Defect Summary : Certain my 2007 and 2008 international school and commercial buses manufactured between january 20 and september 28, 2006, equipped with ricon wheelchair lifts . the lift inner barrier interlock switch system may not detect the presence of a passenger on the inner barrier and allow the platform to move down more than one inch below floor level while occupied which does not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, platform lift systems for motor vehicles. |
