What’s wrong with it?
A window that opens unexpectedly as a result of a crash or contact with the window may allow the passenger to be ejected from the bus, increasing their risk of injury.
Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 J4500 vehicles manufactured April 14, 2015, to February 22, 2016.
On the affected vehicles, the non-egress single pane passenger windows may have improperly installed mounting hardware, allowing the windows to open unexpectedly at the bottom.
