Announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are two recalls. Both recalls address potential fires in two vehicles which could cause injury or death.
In relationship to other recalls the number of vehicles involed is rather small at 360 plus. Despite this if a fire develops you don't want to be a statistic.

Summary:
 Goshen Coach is recalling certain buses as follows: GC II, model years 2006-2012; GCII-550, model years 2007-2009; G-Force, model years 2011-2012; Pacer, model years 2006-2012; Pacer LS, model years 2008, 2010, and 2013; Pacer LTD, model year 2012; and Sentinel, model year 2011. The buses are equipped with a Ricon manufactured wheelchair lift which has an optional armored pendant cable. The cable may have been installed such that it doesn't clear the wheelchair lift and without a protective cover, or a misinstalled protective cover. |
Consequence:
The cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheel chair lift causing a short circuit that could result in a fire. |
Remedy:
Goshen Coach is working with Ricon to notify owners. Ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit with instructions, free of charge. Owners may contact Goshen Coach at 1-574-970-6300 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000. |
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. |
