What NHTSA recorded

Possible consequence
Consequence of non-compliance: if the retroflective markings are not properly located at emergency exits, occupants could not easily identify such exits in an emergency or accident.
Remedy
Dealers will install additional reflective tape around each emergency door's outside perimeter.
