Recall 2012207

The issue

Certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 217 - Bus Window Retention, Release and Emergency Exits. Specifically, the force required to operate the emergency roof hatch may exceed the allowable limit. In the event of an emergency, passengers may not be able to quickly exit the bus, which could increase the risk of personal injuries. Correction: Dealers will install a repair kit to update the roof hatch mechanism.

Description (français)

Certains autobus ne respectent pas les exigences de la Norme de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada 217 - Fixation et ouverture des fenêtres d'autobus et issues de secours. Notamment, la force requise pour ouvrir l’issue de secours sur le toit peut dépasser la limite permise. Dans le cas d'une situation d'urgence, les passagers pourraient ne pas pouvoir évacuer l'autobus rapidement, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures corporelles. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent installer une trousse de réparation afin de mettre à jour le mécanisme de l'issue de secours sur le toit.
