Reason

Some of the red release bars used during the time frame of 22 December 2010 through 31 January 2011 were reworked. The rework subjected the parts to excessive heat and as a result, the bars can bend during the action of squeezing the release bar against the black cross tube to release the track. The red release bars may bend to the degree that they permanently engage the track locking mechanism

Root cause

Nonconforming Material/Component
