What NHTSA recorded

These buses are equipped with an entrance door handrail off set brace attached to the interior wall and the handrail. The attachment point at the wall is incorrectly positioned permitting the entrapment of the "connecticut nut/string test device" between the upper edge of the brace and the lower edge of the seat ledge. Passenger's clothing could unknowingly become caught in the handrails at the bus doors when exiting the bus.

Possible consequence

When a passenger's clothing becomes caught in the handrail, and the bus driver closes the door and puts the vehicle in motion, the individual is subject to being dragged by the bus. This can result in serious injury or death.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and relocate the bracket as necessary. Owners can inspect and relocate the bracket is so desired.
