2004 Startrans Bus Ambassador & 2004 Startrans Bus President + 3 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain transit buses fail to comply to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, 'bus emergency exits and window retention and release.' the wrong label was placed at the passenger entrance/exit and was not specifically indicating where the emergency door release mechanism was located.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash, a passenger may not know immediately where the emergency door release would be located, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will furnish the correct label and will be placed at a noticeable location. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners should contact startrans at 574-642-4730.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
