Recall campaignsA 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.

The defect: 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.
The risk: IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR COLLISION, FAILURE OF THE EMERGENCY EXIT SYSTEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The 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.

What a recall is

Safety recall
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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
