Recall Summary:
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.
How to 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.
Recall Notes:
System: emergency exit label; fmvss 217. Vehicle description: midtowner and people mover buses.
