The front electric bi-fold doors on these buses are identified as an "emergency exit".
Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.
- Summary
- The front electric bi-fold doors on these buses are identified as an "emergency exit". FMVSS 217 requires that doors identified as emergency exits require less than 20 pounds of pressure to open. These doors require more than 25 pounds of pressure to operate manually.
- Consequence
- The vehicle is in non-compliance with FMVSS 217.
- Remedy
- Replace the "emergency exit" signs with signs that read "for manual operation, pull lever down". Since the doors are not identified as an emergency exit, this eliminates the non-compliance with FMVSS 217.
- Notes
- System: emergency exit label; FMVSS 217.VEHICLE description: midtowner and people mover buses.

Has your Diamond REO been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Diamond REO dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
