Recall 2008215

The issue

Certain transit buses fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 217 - Bus Window Retention, Release, and Emergency Exits. The emergency window may require greater force to open, than is allowed under the Standard. Should an emergency situation arise, this may hinder evacuation efforts, and increase the risk of personal injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

Description (français)

Certains autobus ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 217 - Fixation et ouverture des fenêtres d'autobus et issues de secours. L'ouverture de la fenêtre d'urgence pourrait nécessiter plus de force que ce qui est permis par la norme. Si une situation d'urgence se produisait, cela pourrait nuire à l'évacuation et augmenter les risques que les occupants du véhicule soient blessés. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront effectuer les réparations nécessaires.
