BECAUSE OF MISALIGNED LATCH AND LOCK COMPONENTS, CERTAIN SIDE WINDOW ASSEMBLIES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 217, "BUS WINDOW RETENTION AND RELEASE". A WEAR PATTERN MAY BEGIN TO FORM ON THE WINDOW HINGE WHICH MAY CAUSE EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN OPERATING THE RETENTION MECHANISM.
Remedy: THE DEFECT MAY BE CORRECTED BY INSPECTING, CLAMPING A TOOL ONTO THE WINDOW ASSEMBLY STRIKER PLATE, AND SETTING THE PROPER GAP BETWEEN THE WINDOW RETENTION MECHANISM AND THE STRIKER PLATE. THE SPECIFIC PROCEDURE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM DEPENDS ON THE MANUFACTURER OF THE WINDOW ASSEMBLY.
