Defect Description
Glaval Bus is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 transit buses equipped with Speciality Manufacturing Inc. (SMI) ProLo roof escape hatches. Increased friction between the rear plate assemblies, p/no. 009327, and the nylon rear pop-up support, p/no. 008956, may result in opening force of the ProLo roof hatches that exceeds Federal standard requirements. Thus, these hatches fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Safety Consequence
In the event of an emergency, passengers' exit from the bus may be hindered, possibly resulting in injury to the vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Glaval Bus will notify owners. SMI will provide service kits along with repair instructions to dealers and owners, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 17, 2012. Owners may contact Glaval Bus at 1-574-262-2212 or SMI at 1-800-951-7867.
