BYD recalls 2023–2024 Ride Type A school buses over wheelchair lift that may not stop
An electrical part in the wheelchair lift may fail, so the controls cannot stop the lift and it keeps moving while someone is on it, which raises the risk of injury.
What to do
BYD will fix the wiring by installing two diodes at no cost, working with Ricon. Owner letters are expected to be mailed December 21, 2026, and owners can call BYD customer service at 1-661-940-3250.
