Safety Recalls of Diamond Coach VIP Vehicles

the seat back could release when force is applied to the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

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.

If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair�s occupant could fall and sustain injury.

If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and may be accompanied by flame, smoke and potential fire.

The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.

When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.
