2001–2004 Amtran RE & 2003–2004 IC RE recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain school buses, the instructions on how to operate the emergency exit did not meet the minimal letter height of 1-CENTERMETER. These buses fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no 217, bus emergency exits and window retention and release.
💥 The risk
The label may not be visible to the operator, possibly resulting in injury if the occupants cannot exit the bus quickly.
🔧 The fix
Ic will mail new labels with installation instructions. Owner notification began june 25, 2004. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ic at 501-505-2190.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
