Safety Risk:
An emergency exit that is difficult to open could increase the risk of injury in an emergency.

Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facility to replace the roof hatch outer handle.
