In the event of a crash, the emergency exit could not sufficiently restrain the occupants or become inoperable. Occupants could be thrown from the vehicle or unable to open the emergency exits, which could cause injury or death. Correction: Dealers will add 5 screws to each side of the window frame in order to minimize bending of the window frame.
