What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Lion Bus is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 360 school buses. The size of the letters on decals are too small, thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release".

The risk

In the event of an emergency, occupants may not be able to read exiting directions which could result in personal injury.

The remedy

Lion Bus will notify owners and mail them new decals and instructions, free of charge. The recall began on January 14, 2014. Owners may contact Lion Bus at 1-450-432-5466.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
