Has your Federal Coach 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.

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

2006 Federal Coach Spirit III recalls, newest first

September 25, 2008NHTSA 08V5000005 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary
Federal coach is recalling 5 my 2006 Ford 158G, Ford 202G, and my 2006-2007 GMC 232 transit and shuttle buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
Consequence
A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
Remedy
Federal coach is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or federal coach at 1-800-292-6210.
