Component: VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
Defect Description
Nova Bus is recalling certain model year 2010 LFS transit buses manufactured June 10, 2010, through November 11, 2010; and equipped with flush mounted windows and Ricon 3-Minute Urban Transit Bus egress window sets. 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 emergency situation, passengers may be trapped in the bus placing them at risk of injury.
Proposed Solution
Nova Bus will notify owners, and dealers will replace the egress handles free of charge. Ricon will supply the replacement handles. The recall began on December 10, 2012. Owners may contact Nova Bus at 1-877-999-8808.
