The issue
Certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 217 - Bus Window Retention, Release and Emergency Exits. Specifically, these units were manufactured with an incorrect number of emergency exits. Should an emergency situation arise, this may hinder evacuation efforts, and increase the risk of personal injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will install additional emergency exit windows on each side of the vehicle.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 217 - Fixation et ouverture des fenêtres d'autobus et issues de secours. En particulier, ces unités ont été munies du mauvais nombre de sorties de secours. Si une situation d'urgence survenait, cela pourrait nuire aux efforts d'évacuation et augmenter les risques que les occupants du véhicule soient blessés. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser des fenêtres d'évacuation supplémentaires de chaque côté du véhicule.
