What was wrong

Defect

Specialty Manufacturing Co. (Specialty) is recalling certain Prolo 24"x 24" roof hatches. Due to a manufacturing issue, the roof hatch external handle may unexpectedly break under reasonable use. 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."

Risk

If the roof hatch external handle breaks, in the event of an emergency, the hatch cannot be easily opened from outside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Specialty will provide vehicle manufacturers with replacement hatch handles, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Specialty customer service at 1-800-951-7867.
