What is wrong
Startrans bus corporation (startrans) is recalling one model year 2011 senator commercial bus equipped with a specialty manufacturing inc. (smi) prolo roof hatch. Increased friction between the rear plate assembly, p/no. 009327, and the nylon rear pop-up support, p/no. 008956, may result in an opening force of the prolo roof hatches that exceeds federal standard requirements. Thus, these hatches fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release."
Risk
In the event of an emergency, egress of the bus may be hindered possibly resulting in injury to the vehicle occupants.
