STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT
A lack of emergency exits can delay passengers from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.
8 safety recall campaigns, 4 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A lack of emergency exits can delay passengers from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.
If hot, pressurized coolant suddenly spills into the operator's foot area, there is an increased risk of a burn injury or a crash.
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
The increase in engine speed may result in unintended acceleration, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
Two 2014 IC BUS CASBs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
