What is wrong
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.
What can happen
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
