Recall 93V-209: 1992–1993 Sunline Power Unit
CHANCE COACH, INC. recall for unknown or other, reported to NHTSA on Dec 8, 1993, covering about 222 vehicles.
The problem
The vehicle operators are not aware that the wheelchair hydraulic system needs to be cycled on a daily basis to insure that the pressure required to hold it in the stowed position has not bled off. If the hydraulic pressure is not sufficient to hold the platform in the stowed position and the vehicle makes a left turn, the lift can move. The movement causes the brake interlock to activate, abruptly stopping the vehicle.
The risk
If the abrupt stop happens while the vehicle is intraffic, an accident involving following vehicles can occur. Also, passengersin the vehicle can be injured.
The fix
A decal instructing the operators of the vehicle to cycle the hydraulic lift system daily will be sent to the owners for installation on the engine cover.
