The issue
Issue: On certain school buses, the roof hatch (emergency exit) may not have a French label. Canadian regulations require labels to be in English and French. Safety Risk: An emergency exit that's not properly labeled may create confusion. This could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and provide instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, replace the label. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the repairs performed at a Micro Bird dealership.
Description (français)
Problème : Sur certains autobus scolaires, la trappe de sortie de secours montée sur le toit pourrait ne pas comporter d'étiquette en français. La réglementation canadienne exige que les étiquettes comportent du texte en anglais et en français. Risque pour la sécurité : Une sortie de secours mal étiquetée peut créer de la confusion. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures lors d'une situation d'urgence. Mesures correctives : Micro Bird doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur fournir des instructions sur la manière d'inspecter et, au besoin, remplacer l'étiquette. Les propriétaires peuvent également prendre rendez-vous pour l'inspection et les réparations chez un concessionnaire Micro Bird.
