Summary
Turtle Top is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2012 Odyssey, Terra Transport, and Van Terra vehicles manufactured September 1, 2006, through November 1, 2012, and equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
Consequence
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.
Remedy
Turtle Top will notify owners and Ricon will send owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. This recall campaign will begin during July 2013. Owners may contact Turtle Top at 1-800-296-2105 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin@wabtec.com.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Turtle Top 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 Turtle Top dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
