The hazard
The affected interlock switches can become stuck in a retracted position, allowing the exterior door to remain unlocked, posing a risk of death or serious injury if the elevator is called to another floor. SUNS has received one report of the interlock switch becoming stuck, which can allow the elevator door to remain unlocked. No injuries have been reported.
