Summary of the Safety Concern:
THE REAR DOOR FAILED THE FMVSS 217 MAGNITUDE OF FORCE TEST. THE REAR DOOR RELEASE MECHANISM REQUIRES 35 POUNDS OF FORCE TO OPERATE. THIS IS GREATER THAN THE 20 POUNDS MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY THE FMVSS FOR DOORS LABELED 'EMERGENCY EXIT'. HOWEVER, THERE IS MORE UNOBSTRUCTED EXIT AREA THAN REQUIRED BY THE FMVSS, THEREFORE, THE REAR DOOR DOES NOT NEED TO BE LABELED AS AN EMERGENCY EXIT. |
||
|
Consequence:
NONE. TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO COMPLIANCE, THE WORDS 'IN EMERGENCY' WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE REAR DOOR LABEL. |
||
|
Remedy:
REMOVE WORDS 'IN EMERGENCY' FROM REAR DOOR LABEL. |
