- Summary
- Certain 2005 my sturdibus school buses. These buses fail to comply to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "window retention."
- Consequence
- In the event of a vehicle crash, it is possible that passenger contact with the window could cause the window to dislodge from its gasket/seal, and permit passage of a passenger's head through the resulting opening. This could result in serious injury or even death.

Has your US Bus been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A US Bus dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
