Recall 2013167

The issue

Certain fire trucks fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. Specifically, the outer door handle spring is not sufficiently stiff, which may allow the door to open during a vehicle crash. As a result, an unbelted occupant could fall from the vehicle and sustain personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the outer door handle actuator spring with an updated version.

Description (français)

Certains camions de pompier ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 206 – Serrures de porte et composants de retenue de porte. Plus particulièrement, le ressort de la poignée de porte extérieure n'est pas suffisamment rigide, ce qui peut causer l'ouverture de la porte en cas d'accident du véhicule. Dans un tel cas, un occupant ne portant pas sa ceinture de sécurité pourrait tomber du véhicule et subir des blessures. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le ressort actionneur de la poignée de porte extérieure par un ressort à jour.
