Recalls- Air conditioner fuse issue. NHTSA campaign 12V011000 affected 1,407 vehicles. The fuse in the Carrier GENV EM-1 evaporator unit may loosen, causing arcing and potential fuse holder melting. This condition presents a vehicle fire risk. Glaval will provide a retrofit kit and repair instructions at no cost.
- Wheelchair lift cable short circuit. Campaign 12V580000 involved 704 vehicles. An armored pendant cable on Ricon wheelchair lifts may contact the power lug due to improper installation, potentially causing a short circuit and fire. Owners will be directed to Ricon for a free supplemental cover kit and instructions.
- Wheelchair lift restraint belt defect. Under campaign 10V143000 covering 302 vehicles, the restraint belt can appear latched without fully engaging the latch, allowing the lift to operate unsafely. This condition increases the risk of injury. Ricon will supply warning decals and training aids free of charge.
- Wheelchair lift platform side plate cracking. Campaign 14V599000 affected 828 vehicles. Cracks in the platform side plates can cause the lift platform to separate and fall when doors open, risking operator injury. Owners will receive supplemental support bumpers or platform replacement at no cost.
- Wheelchair lift armored cable clearance. In campaign 14V226000 covering 42 vehicles, the armored pendant cable may not clear the wheelchair lift properly, which can lead to a short circuit and fire risk. Ricon will send a supplemental cover kit and installation instructions free of charge.

GLAVAL IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2007 TRANSIT BUSES BUILT ON FORD, GMC, CHEVROLET, AND FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS AND EQUIPPED WITH CARRIER GENV EM-1 EVAPORATOR UNITS.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
GLAVAL BUS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2010 UNIVERSAL, TITAN, TITAN II, PRIMETIME, SPORT, AND APOLLO TRANSIT BUSES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN DECEMBER 2007 AND DECEMBER 2009 FITTED WITH RICON PUBLIC USE LIFTS. THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE. RICON HAS DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO INSERT THE BELT TONGUE INTO THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FULLY ENGAGING THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT. IF THE RESTRAINT BELT TONGUE IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE RESTRAINT BELT BUCKLE, AND LATCHED, THE LIFT MAY OPERATE WITH AN OCCUPANT ON THE PLATFORM.
Risk: THE USER OF THE LIFT COULD BE INJURED SHOULD THE LIFT MOVE WITHOUT THE RESTRAINT BELT PROPERLY BUCKLED.
