Recall Summary:
On certain transit buses, the spot welds which hold the wheelchair ramp hinge assembly together can fail allowing the ramp to separate, when deployed under load, from the bus frame.
How to Fix:
Dealers will add new hardware to the hinges which will make the spot-welding redundant. The recall began on February 15, 2006. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4874.
