Plain-English summary
AROW Global Corp is recalling certain emergency exit windows, specifically models MV200, MV207, and MV170. The recall involves a defect where the emergency exit window latch can fail, allowing the window to open during a crash. As a result, these windows fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, which governs bus emergency exits and window retention and release.
A window that opens during a crash may not properly retain passengers as intended, which increases the risk of injury. The source text does not specify the number of affected units or the specific vehicle manufacturers involved, though it notes that vehicle manufacturers are expected to be notified in November 2025.
AROW will replace the latches free of charge. Owners may contact AROW customer service at 715-693-6020 for more information.
