- Campaign:
- 93V217000 on 12/29/1993
- Component:
- Visibility:rearview mirrors/devices
- Affected:
- 45
- Defect:
- The left hand rearview mirror can be adjusted to a position which interferes with the opening of the emergency exit window located adjacent to the driver position. in such cases, the vehicle is in non-compliance with fmvss no. 217, "bus window retention and release."
- Consequence:
- The passengers may be subjected to increased risk ofinjury if an accident occurrs and the emergency exit cannot not be used.
- Correction:
- Dealers will fix the left rearview mirror arm in a position to allow a clear path for the emergency window to extend: this will operate independent of the adjustment of the mirror head for driver's vision.
