Recall 13V374000

Equipment › Other › Labels — Lion · reported 20 Aug 2013 · 23 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Lion Bus is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 360 school buses. The size of the letters on decals are too small, thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release".

The risk

In the event of an emergency, occupants may not be able to read exiting directions which could result in personal injury.

The fix

Lion Bus will notify owners and mail them new decals and instructions, free of charge. The recall began on January 14, 2014. Owners may contact Lion Bus at 1-450-432-5466.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
