2008 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER BUS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Bus has two recalls, both involving wheelchair and passenger lift equipment that can fail to restrain users during operation. On vehicles fitted with Ricon public use lifts, the restraint belt that locks the platform in place can allow the lift to move even when the belt is not properly buckled, putting the lift user at risk of injury. On buses equipped with Braun Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier can bend or fall out of alignment over time, allowing a wheelchair occupant to roll over or past the barrier.
