Hometown Trolley Villager recalls
Risk: Loose brake caliper mounting bolts can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Loose brake caliper mounting bolts can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the seat belt cannot be latched, the bus may be operated without the seat belt being used, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Risk: 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.
Risk: High resistance may cause the circuit board to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: 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.
Risk: If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and may be accompanied by flame, smoke and potential fire.
