Elkhart Coach (Elkhart) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Elkhart coach model shuttle buses manufactured November 2006, through July 2012. The affected buses are equipped with a Ricon manufactured wheelchair lift which may have an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift. If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and, if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed nonconductive cover, a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
