Defect. Daimler Buses North Carolina LLC (Daimler) is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Sprinter Mini-buses equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.

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.

Remedy. Daimler will notify owners and Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall began on August 6, 2013. More information can be obtained by contacting Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
