Endera Recall 24V630000: Structure, Emergency, Escape/egress/exit

NHTSA recall 24V630000 · announced August 22, 2024 · filed by Endera Motors · 18 units affected

The problem

Endera Motors (Endera) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Endera school buses. The rear emergency exit door has a gas shock that is underrated for the weight of the door, which can result in the door closing unexpectedly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

The risk

An emergency exit door closing unexpectedly can increase the risk of injury.

What to do

Dealers will replace the gas strut with a standard locking mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 11, 2024. Owners may contact Endera customer service at 419-523-3593.
