Defect Summary:
ENTRY DOORS MAY NOT MEET LONGITUDINAL LOAD REQUIREMENTS DUE TO OMISSION OF MUSHROOM CAP ON THE STRIKER PIN, REQUIRED BY FMVSS 206.
Consequence Summary:
UNDER SEVERE CONDITIONS, SUCH AS EXTREME IMPACT TO THE MODULAR BOX OR A ROLLOVER, DOORS COULD SEPARATE FROM THE PIN AND OPEN; THIS WOULD ALLOW OCCUPANTS TO BE EXPELLED FROM AMBULANCE IF NOT SECURED BY SAFETY BELTS.
