Daimler Trucks North America engine can potentially be started while an emergency exit is still locked.
The short version
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC reported a problem with the escape/egress/exit latching/release system. Here is what owners need to know.
The engine can potentially be started while an emergency exit is still locked. 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."
A locked emergency exit can delay passengers from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will repair the Vandalock interlock system, free of charge.
