Summary of the Safety Concern:
CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 217, "BUS EMERGENCY EXITS AND WINDOW RETENTION AND RELEASE." DUE TO CERTAIN SEATING ARRANGEMENTS, THE EMERGENCY EXIT LABELS ON THE EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOWS WERE IN AN IMPROPER LOCATION. |
||
|
Consequence:
WITHOUT THESE LABELS, THERE COULD BE CONFUSION IN LOCATING THE EMERGENCY EXIT RELEASES IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. |
||
|
Remedy:
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2002. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DIAMOND COACH AT 1-800-241-8678, EXTENSION 13. |
