Defect
Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain model year 2013 Senator, Senator II, Trolley, President, Heavy Duty, and Activity transit buses and trolleys manufactured December 15, 2012, through December 31, 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.
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.

Supreme will notify owners, and Ricon will send the owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. The recall began on July 24, 2014. Owners may contact Supreme customer service at 1-574-642-4888, or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at [email protected].
