The issue

Issue: On certain school buses, the service door may not be adjusted correctly. As a result, the door panels may get stuck when the emergency release handle is used, or may not open when force is applied to the door. Additionally, the exterior emergency release handle may not allow the service door to be opened from outside of the bus. Safety Risk: A door that cannot be opened could delay exiting the bus in an emergency. This could also delay emergency response. Both of these issues could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to a dealer to adjust the service door. Alternatively, Micro Bird will provide owners instructions on how to correctly adjust the service door.

Description (français)

Problème : Sur certains autobus scolaires, la porte de service pourrait ne pas être ajustée correctement. Par conséquent, les panneaux de la porte pourraient se coincer lorsque la poignée de déverrouillage d'urgence est utilisée ou ne pas s'ouvrir lorsqu'une force est appliquée sur la porte. De plus, la poignée de déverrouillage d'urgence extérieure pourrait ne pas permettre d'ouvrir la porte de service de l'extérieur de l'autobus. Risques pour la sécurité : Une porte qui ne peut pas être ouverte pourrait retarder la sortie des passagers de l'autobus en cas d'urgence, ce qui pourrait également retarder l'intervention d'urgence. Ces deux problèmes pourraient augmenter les risques de blessures. Mesures correctives : Micro Bird doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur autobus chez un concessionnaire pour faire ajuster la porte de service. Aussi, Micro Bird fournira aux propriétaires des instructions sur la manière d'ajuster correctement la porte de service.
