Lion recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Lion Bus is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 360 school buses. The size of the letters on decals are too small, thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release".
What could happen
In the event of an emergency, occupants may not be able to read exiting directions which could result in personal injury.
The fix
Lion Bus will notify owners and mail them new decals and instructions, free of charge. The recall began on January 14, 2014. Owners may contact Lion Bus at 1-450-432-5466.
