The short answer
NHTSA received ARBOC Specialty Vehicles, LLC’s report on Dec 9, 2014. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A broken window can create glass shards, increasing the risk of personal injury.
ARBOC Specialty Vehicles, LLC (ARBOC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Spirit of Mobility transit buses manufactured June 23, 2014, to November 21, 2014.
The affected vehicles were manufactured with driver side transition windows that were not safety stamped.
Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 205 “Glazing Materials.”
