On certain transit buses equipped with lift-u wheelchair lifts, it IS possible for a person to wedge their feet under the solid bar barrier linkage.
Risk and remedy
Risk
While sitting in a wheelchair, a person with no shoes and who does not have control of their feet could twist their feet and get them forced under the linkage which could result in an injury.
Remedy
Daimlerchrysler commercial IS working with lift-u to repair these buses (please see 06e-093). owners will receive a free repair kit along with installation instructions free of charge. owners may contact lift-u at 209-838-2400 or orion bus at 905-403-7807.
The left hand rearview mirror can be adjusted to a position which interferes with the opening of the emergency exit window located adjacent to the driver position. In such cases, the vehicle IS in non-compliance with fmvss no. 217, "bus window retention and release."
Risk and remedy
Risk
The passengers may be subjected to increased risk ofinjury if an accident occurrs and the emergency exit cannot not be used.
Remedy
Dealers will fix the left rearview mirror arm in a position to allow a clear path for the emergency window to extend: this will operate independent of the adjustment of the mirror head for driver's vision.
