The short answer

NHTSA received Coach and Equipment Mfg Corp.’s report on May 1, 2014. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

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.

Coach and Equipment Mfg.

Corp.

(Coach and Equipment) is recalling certain model year 2013 Metro Lite transit buses manufactured May 2013 through June 2013 and Phoenix transit buses manufactured March 2013 through April 2013 and equipped with certain Ricon S-series and K-series wheelchair lifts, with an optional armored pendant cable.

The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
