Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain Ricon hidden frame windows sold through Prevost Parts and Prevost Service Center. Please refer to Nova Bus' attached document for specific part number information. Inadequate adhesion around the window frame may cause the glass to detach. As such, these windows fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
