The short version

STARTRANS BUS CORPORATION reported a problem with the rearview mirrors/devices interior. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

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.

WHY IT MATTERS

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.

WHAT TO DO

STARTRANS WILL MAIL THE REQUIRED DECAL ALONG WITH DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE TO PLACE THE DECAL, free of charge.
