NHTSA campaign 11V492000 · Visibility · filed Oct 3, 2011 · verified Jul 30, 2026
The defect
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.
