Recall 90V041000

Equipment › Other › Labels — Diamond Reo, Wayne · reported 5 Mar 1990 · 958 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

THE FRONT ELECTRIC BI-FOLD DOORS ON THESE BUSES ARE IDENTIFIED AS AN "EMERGENCY EXIT". FMVSS 217 REQUIRES THAT DOORS IDENTIFIED AS EMERGENCY EXITS REQUIRE LESS THAN 20 POUNDS OF PRESSURE TO OPEN. THESE DOORS REQUIRE MORE THAN 25 POUNDS OF PRESSURE TO OPERATE MANUALLY.

The risk

THE VEHICLE IS IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 217.

The fix

REPLACE THE "EMERGENCY EXIT" SIGNS WITH SIGNS THAT READ "FOR MANUAL OPERATION, PULL LEVER DOWN". SINCE THE DOORS ARE NOT IDENTIFIED AS AN EMERGENCY EXIT, THIS ELIMINATES THE NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 217.

SYSTEM: EMERGENCY EXIT LABEL; FMVSS 217.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MIDTOWNER AND PEOPLE MOVER BUSES.
