1998–2013 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner Mvp Ef School Bus Recall

Issued June 1, 2016
Issue
Hazard description
On certain school buses, the stem which joins the outside emergency door handle to the emergency door opening mechanism may potentially corrode. Excessive material loss of the stem due to corrosion could result in the outside handle separating from the door mechanism while trying to open the door from the exterior of the bus. In the event of an emergency, this could delay evacuation of the vehicle and increase the risk of injury to occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect the stems and either replace or protect them against further corrosion. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2015291.
