The problem

The involved vehicles have the emergency exits labeled "exit" instead of "emergency exit" and the emergency exit release mechanisms are not labeled with the required operating instructions. Also, the tire diameter, load range and rim width are not shown on the federal motor vehicle safety standard certification label. As a result, the involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus window retention and release", and no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars".

The fix
