NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
THE FRONT ELECTRIC BI-FOLD DOORS ON THESE BUSES ARE IDENTIFIED AS AN "EMERGENCY EXIT". FMVSS 217 REQUIRES THAT DOORS IDENTIFIED AS EMERGENCY EXITS REQUIRE LESS THAN 20 POUNDS OF PRESSURE TO OPEN. THESE DOORS REQUIRE MORE THAN 25 POUNDS OF PRESSURE TO OPERATE MANUALLY.
The risk
THE VEHICLE IS IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 217.
The remedy
REPLACE THE "EMERGENCY EXIT" SIGNS WITH SIGNS THAT READ "FOR MANUAL OPERATION, PULL LEVER DOWN". SINCE THE DOORS ARE NOT IDENTIFIED AS AN EMERGENCY EXIT, THIS ELIMINATES THE NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 217.
Notes
SYSTEM: EMERGENCY EXIT LABEL; FMVSS 217.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MIDTOWNER AND PEOPLE MOVER BUSES.
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.
