A CABLE INSTALLED TO TEMPORARILY BYPASS THE NEUTRAL SWITCH TO ENABLE THE ENGINE TO BE STARTED WAS NOT REMOVED AT DELIVERY. THE CABLE ALLOWS THE BUS TO BE STARTED WHILE IN A FORWARD OR REVERSE DRIVE GEAR.

94V214000Feb 1995

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

THE HOLE IN THE BOLT PORTION OF THE VANDALOCK WAS DRILLED IN AN INCORRECT LOCATION, ALLOWING THE PIN TO BE INSERTED WITH THE BOLT IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHILE BYPASSING THE STARTER INTERLOCK. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE ENGINE STARTING SYSTEM OPERATING WHILE THE EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR IS LOCKED. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 217, "BUS WINDOW RELEASE AND RETENTION."
