THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 217 - BUS WINDOW RETENTION, RELEASE AND EMERGENCY EXITS. THE HOLE IN THE BOLT PORTION OF THE VANDALOCK, WHICH ALLOWS INSERTION OF A PIN TO EITHER ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE THE STARTING SYSTEM MAY HAVE BEEN DRILLED IN AN INCORRECT LOCATION. THE RESULT IS THAT THE WARNING BUZZER WILL NOT SOUND AND THE STARTING SYSTEM OF THE BUS CAN BE OPERATED WITH THE EMERGENCY DOOR LOCKED. CORRECTION: A METAL SHIELD WILL BE RIVETED TO THE VANDALOCK COVER TO PREVENT PIN INSERTION IN THE EVENT THAT THE PIN HOLE HAS BEEN INCORRECTLY LOCATED.
