The short answer

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The missing information may prevent or delay the use of the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2009-2025 Volvo 9700 buses.
The emergency exit label on the entrance door is missing the exit operating instructions.
As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, “Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release.”
