What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (school bus emergency exits) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Endera Motors is recalling certain 2022-2023 Endera school buses. The recall involves 158 vehicles where the operating instructions on the emergency exit labels are printed in lettering that is too small and may be difficult to read. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, which governs bus emergency exits and window retention and release.

Emergency exit labels that are difficult to read can prevent or delay the use of the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury in an emergency situation. No specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Endera will replace the emergency exit labels free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 11, 2024. Owners may contact Endera customer service at 419-523-3593 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
