Summary

TBB Emergency Door Handles On certain buses, the stem which joins the outside emergency door handle to the door opening mechanism may corrode. Excessive material loss of the stem due to corrosion could result in the outside handle separating from the door mechanism while trying to open the door from the exterior of the bus. In the event of an emergency, opening the emergency door from the outside the bus may cause the handle to separate from the opening mechanism, potentially delaying evacuation and increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
