Component:

Visibility:rearview mirrors/devices

Affected:

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.
