These buses have the headlights automatically activated whenever the windshield wipers are activated. No other exterior lights are activated by windshield wiper activation. This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Risk and remedy
Risk
Consequence of non-compliance: this could cause a visibility problem increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will modify the electrical wiring to activate all exterior lights whenever the windshield wipers are activated.
The emergency release valve moves out of position causing it to become inoperative. When this happens, the entrance door cannot be opened by activating the emergency release handle.
Risk and remedy
Risk
The inability to open an emergency exit does not complywith fmvss 217, "bus window retention and release", and could restrict theability of occupants to exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency.
Remedy
The corrective action IS being developed. Buses will be repaired when the corrective action has been determined.
