What was wrong

Defect

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO START THE ENGINE WHEN THE EMERGENCY DOOR IS LOCKED. THIS FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 217, "BUS WINDOW RETENTION AND RELEASE".

Manufacturer remedy

EMERGENCY DOOR KEY LOCKS WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, A SPECIFIED CROSS RECESS SCREW WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE KEY SLOT OF THE LOCK TUMBLER ASSEMBLY. THIS WILL RENDER THE LOCK INOPERATIVE.
