EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY:WHEELCHAIR LIFT/RAMP
Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
Excessively bright or dim headlights may reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
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.
An unexpected engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash.
If hot exhaust gas contacts other components or materials, it can increase the risk of a fire.
If the sliding seat is not locked in place, the seat may move forward and backwards on the track, increasing the risk of injury to the seat passenger if the coach is involved in a crash.
Two 2013 VOLVO BUS 9700s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
