Details

What's wrong: Certain shuttle buses equipped with 2 rear wheel chair and flip seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release." The flip seat installed on the right rear of the bus partially obscures the rear emergency exit window's release handle and operational instruction label.

Why it matters: In the event of an emergency, an occupant may not be able to properly exit the vehicle.

The fix: Dealers will install an emergency window exit label to the window. Owner notification began November 13, 2002.
