Motor Coach Industries may have an insufficient number of emergency egress windows, inhibiting passenger exit in the event of an emergency.
The short version
Motor Coach Industries reported a problem with the emergency escape/egress/exit. Here is what owners need to know.
These vehicles may have an insufficient number of emergency egress windows, inhibiting passenger exit in the event of an emergency. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
In the event of an emergency, an insufficient number of emergency egress windows can lengthen the time that passengers need to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
MCI will notify owners, and dealers will replace a non-egress window on each side of the vehicle to an egress window and install the proper emergency exit window labels, free of charge.
