Recall 21V799000 — EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY:WHEELCHAIR LIFT/RAMP
| 422 vehicles affected
Defect: Van Hool N.V. (Van Hool) is recalling certain 2000-2014 C2045, 2016 CX45, and 1998-2013 T2145 vehicles equipped with Ricon Baylift Wheelchair Lifts. When the lift's outer barrier is fully deployed, it may not withstand a sufficient amount of force, which could cause it to fail. As such, these lifts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety...
Consequence: In the event that a mobility device pushes into the outer barrier, the barrier may fail, increasing the risk of injury for the lift occupant.
Remedy: Ricon will reinforce the outer barrier with additional supports, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 30, 2021. Owners may contact Van Hool's customer service at 1-877-427-7278 or 1-407-656-7977. Van Hool's number for this recall is P1528-SB2067.

| 450 vehicles affected
Defect: ON CERTAIN MOTOR COACHES EQUIPPED WITH ZF/ARENS AS TRONIC SHIFT SELECTORS, A CELL PHONE PLACED IN THE PROXIMITY OF THE SHIFTER TOUCH PAD COULD CAUSE THE DISPLAY TO CHANGE FROM "R" (REVERSE) TO "D" (DRIVE) SHOULD THE PHONE RECEIVE A CALL.
Consequence: THIS INTERFERENCE CAN CAUSE IMPROPER SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION, AS FORWARD GEAR CAN BE ENGAGED FROM NEUTRAL ONLY, IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STOPPED, AND IF THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BEEN DEPRESSED. IF THE MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHILE 'R' (REVERSE) IS BEING SELECTED, THE SHIFTER MAY POSSIBLY CHANGE TO 'D' (DRIVE), INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: VAN HOOL IS WORKING WITH ZF/ARENS TO DEVELOP A MORE EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VAN HOOL AT 1-800-222-2871 OR ZF AT 1-734-416-6200.
