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.
9 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation.
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.
A disabled bus may require passengers to transfer to a different bus on the side of the road, increasing the risk of injury.
If the fire suppression system does not work as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
The power cable and fuse box can overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
Two 2017 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.
