Arboc roof hatch external handle may unexpectedly break under reasonable use.
The short version
ARBOC Specialty Vehicles, LLC reported a problem with the emergency escape/egress/exit. Here is what owners need to know.
The roof hatch external handle may unexpectedly break under reasonable use. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
If the roof hatch external handle breaks, in the event of an emergency, the hatch cannot be easily opened from outside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
ARBOC will notify owners, and Specialty will replace the roof hatch handles free of charge.
