NHTSA recall 11V584000

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a Challenger door rear emergency exit doors. Due to insufficient lubrication on the rear door handle latch mechanism, the handle may bind, requiring a great force to open the rear door. Accordingly, these buses fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release."

Why it matters: In the event of an emergency, the vehicle occupants may be unable to open the rear door, which would hinder egress of the bus, possibly resulting in injury to the vehicle occupants.

The fix: Starcraft bus will notify owners, dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on January 10, 2012.
