Defect. CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES FAIL TO COMPLY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 217, 'BUS EMERGENCY EXITS AND WINDOW RETENTION AND RELEASE.' THE WRONG LABEL WAS PLACED AT THE PASSENGER ENTRANCE/EXIT AND WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY INDICATING WHERE THE EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE MECHANISM WAS LOCATED.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, A PASSENGER MAY NOT KNOW IMMEDIATELY WHERE THE EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE WOULD BE LOCATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL FURNISH THE CORRECT LABEL AND WILL BE PLACED AT A NOTICEABLE LOCATION. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT STARTRANS AT 574-642-4730.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
