The defect
An item worn by a child, such as a long drawstring, sash, or backpack/bookbag accessory, can become caught on the fateners that secure the handrail support to the handrail.
The risk
If an item worn by a child were to catch on this area, and the driver were to close the door and put the vehicle in motion, this can result in serious injury or death.
The remedy
The existing 1" bolts that secure the handrail support will be replaced with 1/2" bolts.
