Recall 02V-291: 1993–2002 Diamond Coach MB200, 1993–2001 Diamond Coach TC18FD and 1 more
DIAMOND COACH CORPORATION recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Nov 8, 2002, covering about 3,146 vehicles.
The problem
Certain transit buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release." due to certain seating arrangements, the emergency exit labels on the emergency exit windows were in an improper location.
The risk
Without these labels, there could be confusion in locating the emergency exit releases in the event of a crash.
The fix
Owners will be provided with labels and installation instructions. Owner notification is expected to begin during november 2002. Owners who do not receive the free labels and instructions within a reasonable time should contact diamond coach at 1-800-241-8678, extension 13.
Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
