Recall 11V-492: 2007–2011 Startrans Mfsab
STARTRANS BUS CORPORATION recall for visibility, reported to NHTSA on Oct 3, 2011, covering about 444 vehicles.
The problem
Certain model year 2007 through 2011 startrans mfsab school activity buses were produced without the required decal on the rear view mirror which warns the bus operator to use the cross view mirrors while the bus is stopped and not to use the cross view mirrors while the bus is moving. Accordingly, the buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 111, "rearview mirrors."
The risk
Images in cross view mirrors do not accurately show another vehicle's location, improper use of mirrors may reduce the clear and reasonably unobstructed view to the rear, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Startrans will mail the required decal along with detailed instructions on where to place the decal. The safety recall began on november 10, 2011. Owners may contact startrans at 1- 877-258-1391.
