Recall campaigns
Defect, as filed: The involved vehicles do not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus window retention and release". The window exits are of insufficient size and the emergency exit location and operating instructions are improperly identified.
Remedy: The dealer will adjust stops on the sliding windows to enlarge the opening and push-out split windows will be installed in place of stationary windows where required. Proper emergency exit identification and instruction labels will also be installed.
Filed by SHELLER-GLOBE CORPORATION.
Defect, as filed: The gross axle weight rating (gawr) on the involved vehicles may have been incorrectly calculated and thus these vehicles may have been equipped with rear tires having an insufficient ply rating for the intended load requirement. As a result, these vehicles do not comply to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars".
Remedy: Dealer will replace rear tires with tires of the correct ply rating, without charge to owner.
