Defect Description
Ricon is recalling the egress window handles of certain Ricon 3-Minute Urban Transit Bus egress window sets manufactured April 1, 2010, through October 31, 2010, sold and installed as original equipment for various transit buses. The composition of the material used to cast the handles is incorrect resulting in embrittlement of the handle and a reduction in material strength. The handle(s) on the emergency egress passenger windows may break before the window latch is released.
Consequence / Hazard
In the event the egress window fails during an actual emergency situation, passengers may be trapped in the vehicle placing them at risk of injury.
Proposed Solution
Ricon notified the affected vehicle manufacturers in October 2012 and are providing replacement handles to the vehicle manufacturers. The vehicle manufacturers will remedy the affected transit buses free of charge. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or Ricon at 1-818-267-3001 for more information.
