The defect
The emergency release valve moves out of position causing it to become inoperative. When this happens, the entrance door cannot be opened by activating the emergency release handle.
The risk
The inability to open an emergency exit does not complywith fmvss 217, "bus window retention and release", and could restrict theability of occupants to exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency.
The remedy
The corrective action IS being developed. Buses will be repaired when the corrective action has been determined.
