What is wrong

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.
What could happen
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.

MCI will notify owners, and dealers will tighten and secure the window mounting hardware, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947. MCI's number for this recall is SB 433B.
