The problem

Coach and equipment manufacturing corporation (coach and equipment) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 phoenix, metro-lite and pegasus transit buses equipped with braun century-2 and/or vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.

The 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.

The fix

Coach and equipment will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers free of charge. Owners may contact coach and equipment mfg. Corp. At 1-800-946-7513.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-423(tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
