Description

Turtle Top is recalling certain model year 2013 Odyssey and Van Terra transit buses manufactured April 11, 2013, through December 5, 2013, and equipped with certain Ricon S series and K series wheelchair lifts with 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.
