Recalls- Air conditioner compressor mount. (NHTSA Recall 15V328000) Affected vehicles may have loose or poorly connected power distribution terminal strips after the installation of Trans-Air add-on compressor mount kits. Five vehicles are involved. The risk includes arcing or overheating that may cause a vehicle fire. Dealers will inspect and correct the connection free of charge.
- Passenger seat belts. (NHTSA Recall 15V413000) Approximately 2,432 vehicles have passenger seat belts that may fray due to rubbing against metal seat frames. A frayed belt could fail to restrain passengers properly in a crash. Dealers will install plastic sleeves over metal frames and replace frayed belts at no cost.
- Driver and passenger seats. (NHTSA Recall 15V503000) About 1,494 vehicles have seats with bolts that may loosen, allowing seat movement during crashes. This defect increases injury risk for occupants. Dealers will inspect and re-tighten bolts free of charge.
- Wheelchair lift folding link arms. (NHTSA Recall 15V748000) 1,442 buses equipped with certain Ricon wheelchair lifts have pivots that may be oversized, causing bearings to shift and platform failure. This failure can cause wheelchair lift platforms to fall out when doors open, risking injury. Dealers will inspect and replace damaged parts at no charge.
- Wheelchair lift platform side plates. (NHTSA Recall 14V637000) Around 1,330 vehicles have Ricon wheelchair lifts with platform side plates prone to cracking. Cracked plates may allow the platform to separate and fall out upon door opening, creating injury risks. Owners will receive supplemental support bumpers or platform replacements free of charge.
- Wheelchair lift positioning cam. (NHTSA Recall 19V102000) Seventy-three vehicles with Ricon S-Series and K-Series lifts have input cams that may fail, causing the platform to stop above floor height. This defect increases the chance of wheelchair users tipping when exiting. Ricon dealers will replace cams at no cost.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety defects on the 2014 GOSHEN GCII may want to consult their state’s lemon law provisions for potential rights and remedies.
