What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR COACHES EQUIPPED WITH EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOWS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 205, "GLAZING MATERIALS." THE EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOW WAS NOT MARKED CORRECTLY WITH THE "DOT" MARKINGS.
What can happen
THIS DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS.
The remedy
DEALERS ARE ETCHING THE CORRECT MARKING INTO THE GLAZING. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DECEMBER 1, 2003 WITH PHASED MAILING DATES.
