Startrans Senator recalls

  • Recall 16V369000May 26, 2016759 vehiclesModel years 2008–2014

    Risk: 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.

  • Recall 16V014000Jan 15, 20161,762 vehiclesModel years 2008–2014

  • Recall 14V244000May 13, 2014116 vehiclesModel years 2013

    Risk: If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
