Description

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 206, "DOOR LOCKS AND DOOR RETENSION COMPONENTS". THE EXTENSION SPRING THAT ATTACHES THE SPRING BRACKET TO THE VALVE ARM AT THE FRONT DOOR ENTRANCE ENGINE ASSEMBLY MAY NOT MAINTAIN THE DOOR IN AN OPEN POSITION WHEN THE EMERGENCY "T" HANDLE IS PULLED. THIS ALLOWS THE EXTENSION SPRING TO RETRACT AND THE DOOR TO CLOSE WHEN THE "T" HANDLE IS RELEASED.
