NHTSA campaign 14V599000 · Equipment Adaptive/mobility · filed Sep 26, 2014 · verified Jul 30, 2026
The defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Glaval Universal, Primetime, Sport, Titan, and Titan II transit and shuttle buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to September 26, 2014, and equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
The 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.
Check whether your specific vehicle is affected

Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2014.
