The issue
Certain fire trucks fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 206 - Door Locks and Door Retention Components. The cab door latches may "pop" open, without warning, to the secondary catch. In the vent of a vehicle crash, the door would not have primary closing security. This could increase the risk of personal injury or death to a vehicle occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace door latches.
Description (français)
Certains camions de pompiers ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 206 - Serrures de porte et composants de retenue de porte. Les portières de la cabine pourraient s'entrouvrir et demeurer retenues par le loqueteau secondaire. En cas d'accident, la portière ne disposerait pas de la sécurité du dispositif de fermeture primaire. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures ou de décès pour un occupant. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les loquets de portière.
