Defect and consequence
Defect: Endera Motors (Endera) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Endera school buses. The emergency exit label operating instructions lettering is too small and may be difficult to read.

Why it matters: Emergency exit labels that are difficult to read can prevent or delay the use of the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Defect and consequence
Defect: Endera Motors (Endera) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Endera school buses. The seat assembly may have been installed without reinforcing washers on the floor anchorage bolt.
