Recall 2004420

The issue

Certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 217. During subsequent closing of an emergency exit, the moving window frame interferes with the frame stop located in mid span along the lower edge of the window frame. During the use of an emergency exit window, a window may not open after applying the required forces allowing a person to escape in the event of an emergency. Correction: Once verified that the window is subject to an over-shut condition, the jammed window frame is released by prying from the outside to release the interference and remedied by installing two aluminium blocks each attached by two screws.

Description (français)

Certains autobus ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 217. Lors de la fermeture d'une sortie de secours, le câdre de fenêtre coulissant interfère avec le dispositif d'arrêt du câdre situé dans le milieu de la partie inférieure du câdre. En cas de besoin, la fenêtre pourrait ne pas s'ouvrir, même si l'on appliquait la force supposément nécessaire. Correction : Après avoir vérifié que la fenêtre est bien coincée, on devra la décoincer de l'extérieur à l'aide d'un levier, puis corriger le problème en posant deux blocs d'aluminium fixés à l'aide de deux vis (par bloc).
