Diamond Coach Recall 02V291000: Equipment, Other, Labels

NHTSA recall 02V291000 · announced November 8, 2002 · filed by Diamond Coach Corporation · 3,146 units affected

The problem

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.

The risk

WITHOUT THESE LABELS, THERE COULD BE CONFUSION IN LOCATING THE EMERGENCY EXIT RELEASES IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

What to do

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.
