- Diesel fuel system. Recall 17V780000 impacts 810 units where screws securing the floor may be too long and damage fuel lines. This can cause fuel leaks, engine stalls, and fire risk. Dealers will inspect and replace fuel lines and install shorter screws free of charge.
- Wheelchair lift mechanism. Recall 18V640000 affects 1,525 vehicles equipped with Ricon S-Series and K-Series lifts. A failing input cam may cause the lift platform to stop higher than the floor height, risking wheelchair user injury. The input cam will be replaced at no cost.
- Seat foam cushioning. Recall 18V722000 covers 872 vehicles with school bus seats where foam in the lower seatback may not absorb crash impact adequately. Dealers will add extra foam to the seatbacks free of charge.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues with structural, fuel, or safety equipment defects may have rights under state lemon laws. Consulting legal advice regarding persistent problems is advisable.
