  Problème : Sur certains autobus, la poignée extérieure de la trappe de toit (issue de secours) pourrait se casser. Dans ce cas, il serait difficile d'ouvrir la trappe de toit de l'extérieur de l'autobus. Risques pour la sécurité : Une issue de secours difficile à ouvrir pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures dans une situation d'urgence. Mesures correctives : Le constructeur doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule à un centre de service autorisé pour faire remplacer la poignée extérieure de la trappe de toit.

  Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Glaval Bus Apollo, Commute, Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy, Primetime, Titan, Titan II Low Floor, and Universal shuttle buses equipped with Safe Fleet Prolo Roof Escape hatches. Due to a manufacturing issue, 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."

  Risque: 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.

  Correctif: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hatch, free of charge. The recall began December 10, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-748-3440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-1115.
