What's wrong

INCORRECT EMERGENCY EGRESS PLATES WERE INSTALLED ON ONE OF THE WINDOWS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THESE BUSES. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 217, "BUS WINDOW RETENTION AND RELEASE."

The risk

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THIS MAY RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT EMERGENCY EGRESS AREA IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

The fix

CUSTOMERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW EMERGENCY EGRESS PLATES. OWNERS CAN ALSO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO A DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSTALL THE NEW PLATES.

SYSTEM: STRUCTURE; DOOR ASSEMBLY; FMVSS NO. 217. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRANSIT BUSES. NOTE: OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE SERVICES FREE OF CHARGE SHOULD CONTACT TBII AT 1-505-347-2011. ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-800-424-9393.

Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
