NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
THE REAR DOOR FAILED THE FMVSS 217 MAGNITUDE OF FORCE TEST. THE REAR DOOR RELEASE MECHANISM REQUIRES 35 POUNDS OF FORCE TO OPERATE. THIS IS GREATER THAN THE 20 POUNDS MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY THE FMVSS FOR DOORS LABELED 'EMERGENCY EXIT'. HOWEVER, THERE IS MORE UNOBSTRUCTED EXIT AREA THAN REQUIRED BY THE FMVSS, THEREFORE, THE REAR DOOR DOES NOT NEED TO BE LABELED AS AN EMERGENCY EXIT.
The risk
NONE. TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO COMPLIANCE, THE WORDS 'IN EMERGENCY' WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE REAR DOOR LABEL.
The remedy
REMOVE WORDS 'IN EMERGENCY' FROM REAR DOOR LABEL.
Notes
SYSTEM: EMERGENCY EXIT LABEL; FMVSS 217.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: COMMUTER VAN.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
