Summary of the Safety Concern:
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."

Consequence:
IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, AN OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY EXIT THE VEHICLE. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN EMERGENCY WINDOW EXIT LABEL TO THE WINDOW. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN NOVEMBER 13, 2002.
