What NHTSA recorded

It is possible for the operators to position the rearview mirrors and interfering with the full extension of the window next to the driver; windows there and in the passenger seating areas required an excessive amount of force to open; and labels advising of the emergency exit locations may be missing.

Possible consequence

In the event of a fire or collision, failure of the emergency exit system to function properly could result in serious injury or death.

Remedy

Operators will inspect every row in the buses to determine whether any emergency window exit location advisory labels are missing or have been defaced. Operators will install or replace these labels. If the bus has a window next to the driver's seat, a roller spring in the mirror assembly will be installed. Operators should immediately implement the manufacturer's recommended maintenance procedures for all emergency exit windows.
