What this recall means for you
This recall covers certain 1988-1991 MCI 102D3 and 102DL3 transit buses. The glass in the front door's lower curb-view window was made with the wrong glazing material, so the vehicle does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205 for glazing materials.
The incorrect glass may reduce the driver's visibility, which increases the risk of a crash.
If you own or operate one of these buses, contact Motor Coach Industries customer service at 1-800-241-2947 and reference recall number 22-005. The glass will be replaced free of charge.
