Defect. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATORS TO POSITION THE REARVIEW MIRRORS AND INTERFERING WITH THE FULL EXTENSION OF THE WINDOW NEXT TO THE DRIVER; WINDOWS THERE AND IN THE PASSENGER SEATING AREAS REQUIRED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO OPEN; AND LABELS ADVISING OF THE EMERGENCY EXIT LOCATIONS MAY BE MISSING.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR COLLISION, FAILURE OF THE EMERGENCY EXIT SYSTEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy. OPERATORS WILL INSPECT EVERY ROW IN THE BUSES TO DETERMINE WHETHER ANY EMERGENCY WINDOW EXIT LOCATION ADVISORY LABELS ARE MISSING OR HAVE BEEN DEFACED. OPERATORS WILL INSTALL OR REPLACE THESE LABELS. IF THE BUS HAS A WINDOW NEXT TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT, A ROLLER SPRING IN THE MIRROR ASSEMBLY WILL BE INSTALLED. OPERATORS SHOULD IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES FOR ALL EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOWS.

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.
