Defect description

CHTC Bus Group (CHTC) is recalling certain 2016-2018 HT-35 and HT-45 buses equipped with ADA wheel chair platform lifts. The lift devices have not completed the compliance certification process.

Safety risk

Lift devices that have not completed compliance certification cannot be assumed to be safe, increasing the risk of injury.
