Defect description

CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 217, "BUS EMERGENCY EXITS AND WINDOW RETENTION AND RELEASE." THE HIGH-BACK SEATING PARTIALLY BLOCKS THE REAR EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOW.

Safety risk

Manufacturer remedy

DEALERS WILL HAVE THE REAR EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOW REPLACED WITH A SOLID REAR WINDOW, AND WILL HAVE AN EMERGENCY EXIT ROOF HATCH INSTALLED IN THE ROOF OF THE BUS TO MEET SAFETY STANDARD. THE RECALL BEGAN JANUARY 24, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT VSV GOSHEN AT 574-206-7025.
