• Recall 69287 [USA]: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
  Navistar is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 ic ce, fe, re, and be model school buses manufactured from december 10, 2007 through january 12, 2010 and fitted with ricon public use lifts.
