What NHTSA recorded
On the involved vehicles, tempered glass may have been installed in the rear doors instead of laminated glass. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus window retention and release". One purpose of the standard is to minimize the likelihood of occupants being ejected from a bus in the event of a collision.
Remedy
Dealer will install laminated glass in place of tempered glass in the rear door, without charge to owner.
