STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT:LATCHING/RELEASE SYSTEM
The service door may not open, preventing evacuation of the vehicle in case of emergency, and increasing the risk of injury.
3 safety recall campaigns.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
The service door may not open, preventing evacuation of the vehicle in case of emergency, and increasing the risk of injury.
If the emergency door won't stay open during an evacuation it can increase the risk of injury.
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
Two 2008 MICRO BIRD T-SERIES SCHOOL BUSs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
