As a result, the handle could break and cause the emergency door not to be able to be opened from the outside.rnrnSafety Risk:rnA door that can't be opened could slow your exit from the bus in an emergency. This could also delay emergency responders from entering the bus. Both issues could increase the risk of injury.rnrnCorrective Actions: rnMicro Bird will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your school bus to a dealership to replace the rear emergency door exterior handle.
