Defect description

Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Startrans MFSAB school buses equipped with Ricon manufactured wheelchair lifts which have an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
