VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS Recall

New Flyer is recalling certain model year 2010 GE35LFR and GE40LFR transit buses, equipped with Ricon 3-Minute Urban Transit Bus egress window sets. The composition of the material used to cast the handle that opens the egress window is incorrect, resulting in a reduction in material strength. The handle(s) on the emergency egress passenger windows may break before the window latch is released.

Remedy: New Flyer will notify owners, and dealers will replace the handles free of charge. The recall began on November 1, 2012. Owners may contact New Flyer at 1-204-982-8400 for more information.

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
