2010 STARTRANS PRESIDENT Complaints and Recall Information
The 2010 STARTRANS PRESIDENT has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to its adaptive mobility equipment and air conditioning system in the recall data provided.
Five recalls have been issued affecting various systems including the air conditioning unit and wheelchair lifts. These recalls address safety defects that could pose risks such as fire and injury from equipment failure.
Recalls- Air conditioner fuse issue. NHTSA recall 11V227000 affects 2,130 vehicles. The fuse in the Carrier GENV EM-1 evaporator unit may loosen due to time, temperature, or vibration, causing high resistance and potential arcing. This can lead to fuse holder melting and vehicle fires. Startrans notifies owners and provides a retrofit kit free of charge.
- Wheelchair lift roll stop latch. Recall 12V186000 covers 2,060 buses equipped with Braun Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The roll stop latches on the outer barrier may bend or misalign. This defect risks wheelchair occupants falling if the platform is elevated with an insufficient latch. Repairs are free through authorized Braun dealers.
- Wheelchair lift pendant cable. Recall 13V067000 affects 1,858 buses with Ricon wheelchair lifts. The armored pendant cable or its cover might be improperly installed, risking contact with the power lug and causing short circuits or fire. Ricon supplies a supplemental cover kit and instructions at no cost.
- Wheelchair lift platform side plate. Recall 16V369000 involves 759 vehicles with Ricon model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 lifts. The platform side plate may crack and folding link arms may have oversized pivot holes, allowing bearing displacement. This could cause the platform to detach and fall when doors open, risking operator injury. Inspections and free repairs are conducted by Ricon dealers.
- Wheelchair lift folding link arms. Recall 16V014000 impacts 1,762 vehicles with similar Ricon wheelchair lifts as the previous recall. Oversized pivot holes allow bearing movement, causing excessive platform movement and potential detachment, posing injury risks. Owners receive notifications and free inspections and repairs by dealers. This recall follows a similar one in 2014 but vehicles that underwent that recall are still affected.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety equipment or fire risks may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting with a consumer protection attorney could provide guidance on potential claims.
