For the 2006 Champion CTS. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Champion been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Champion dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

February 21, 2007NHTSA 07V06100083 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary: Certain buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, 'platform lift systems for motor vehicles.' the inner barrier interlock switch system in the lift baseplate may not detect the presence of a passenger (either wheelchair or standee) on the barrier and can allow the platform to move down more than one inch below floor level when occupied.
Consequence: In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations, it may be possible for the wheelchair to tip backwards onto the platform if the user is backing onto the lift from inside the vehicle and has the small front wheels fully or partially on the inner barrier when the platform was lowered. A person standing could lose his or her balance if they were positioned fully or partly on the inner barrier when the platform was lowered. Either condition could cause personal injury.
Remedy: Champion bus is working with ricon to repair these wheelchair lifts (please see 06E101). Owners can contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or champion bus at 1-800-331-5761.

September 20, 2006NHTSA 06V36200018 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling

Summary: On certain transit buses built on workhorse chassis and equipped with GM 8.1L V8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.
Consequence: In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
Remedy: Chevrolet and workhorse are handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (please see 06V225 and 06V289). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, workhorse at 877-294-6773 or thor industries at 937-596-6849.
