Recall Summary:
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2010 ic be and ce school buses manufactured from April 22 through may 14, 2009, and fitted with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts.

How to Fix:
Navistar will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. A software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. Until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. The safety recall began on June 27, 2011. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
