What is wrong
THE LEFT HAND REARVIEW MIRROR CAN BE ADJUSTED TO A POSITION WHICH INTERFERES WITH THE OPENING OF THE EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOW LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE DRIVER POSITION. IN SUCH CASES, THE VEHICLE IS IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS NO. 217, "BUS WINDOW RETENTION AND RELEASE."
What can happen
THE PASSENGERS MAY BE SUBJECTED TO INCREASED RISK OFINJURY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRS AND THE EMERGENCY EXIT CANNOT NOT BE USED.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL FIX THE LEFT REARVIEW MIRROR ARM IN A POSITION TO ALLOW A CLEAR PATH FOR THE EMERGENCY WINDOW TO EXTEND: THIS WILL OPERATE INDEPENDENT OF THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE MIRROR HEAD FOR DRIVER'S VISION.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
