The 2014 GOSHEN PACER has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to seat belts, seating systems, and adaptive mobility equipment including wheelchair lifts. No individual consumer complaints have been recorded.
The following recalls address defects in seat belts, seating systems, and wheelchair lift equipment that affect safety compliance and operational integrity. Each recall involves inspection and repair or replacement measures at no cost to the vehicle owner.
Recalls- Seat belts fraying. Recall 15V413000 affects 2,432 vehicles from model years 2013-2015. Passenger seat belts may rub against metal seat frames causing fraying, which risks seat belts failing to restrain occupants properly during a crash. Goshen will install plastic sleeves over metal frames and replace frayed belts free of charge.
- Seat mounting bolts loose. Recall 15V503000 targets 1,494 vehicles from model years 2014-2015. Bolts securing driver and passenger seats may loosen, allowing seat movement during crashes which increases injury risk. Dealers will inspect and re-tighten bolts at no charge.
- Wheelchair lift bearings misaligned. Recall 15V748000 covers 1,442 vehicles from model years 2006-2015 equipped with certain Ricon wheelchair lifts. Oversized pivot holes allow bearings to move out of position, causing excessive platform movement and possible platform detachment when doors open. Dealers will inspect and replace damaged parts free of charge.
- Wheelchair lift platform cracking. Recall 14V637000 involves 1,330 vehicles from model years 2006-2014. Platform side plates on Ricon wheelchair lifts may crack, leading to platform separation and potential falls when the lift door opens. Owners will receive supplemental support bumpers or platform replacements if needed.
- Lift positioning cam failure. Recall 19V102000 affects 73 vehicles from model years 2012-2018 with certain Ricon wheelchair lifts. The input cam may fail, allowing the lift platform to stop higher than the floor level, increasing the risk of wheelchair users tipping when exiting. Dealers will replace the cam free of charge.
Owners dealing with multiple recalls related to safety systems such as seat belts and wheelchair lifts may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Those facing repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues should consider consulting legal resources for assistance.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
Eldorado National- Kansas (Eldorado) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Goshen Impulse, GCII, and Pacer shuttle buses equipped with Ricon S-Series and K-Series Wheelchair lifts, models K200, K201, K550, K551, S200, S550, S551. The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."

Goshen Coach (Goshen) is recalling certain modle year 2006-2015 Pacer, Pacer LS, Pacer LTD, GCII, Impulse, Connection, Commander, G-Force, G-Force Access, G-Force LTD, Sentinel, Sentinel UC, and Mainstream Low Floor buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to October 19, 2015, and equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
Risk: If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
