NHTSA Campaign 24V630000
STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT
Issued by Endera Motors · Reported Aug 22, 2024 · 18 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Endera Motors (Endera) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Endera school buses. The rear emergency exit door has a gas shock that is underrated for the weight of the door, which can result in the door closing unexpectedly. 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."
Consequence
An emergency exit door closing unexpectedly can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the gas strut with a standard locking mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 11, 2024. Owners may contact Endera customer service at 419-523-3593.
