Structure:body:doorMay 18, 1998 · NHTSA campaign 98V108000 · 385 vehicles

Problem: Vehicle description: school buses. These buses were not equipped with a positive hold open device (retainer) for the rear emergency door. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 217, "bus window retention and release."

Risk: The rear emergency door would not stay open until it was released, increasing the risk of personal injury in the event of an emergency.

Fix: Owners will be provided with free parts and instructions to install the rear emergency door retainer. Owners can contact their dealers and have them install the retainer if they so desire.
