What is wrong
Coach and Equipment Mfg. Corp. (Coach and Equipment) is recalling certain model year 2013 Metro Lite transit buses manufactured May 2013 through June 2013 and Phoenix transit buses manufactured March 2013 through April 2013 and equipped with certain Ricon S-series and K-series wheelchair lifts, with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
What can happen
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 non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Coach and Equipment will notify owners, and Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2014. Owners may contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-315-536-2321 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin@wabtec.com.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
