As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 14V228000.
Defect description
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.
Safety consequence
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.
Manufacturer remedy
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.
