What happened

Starcraft is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 Prodigy and Quest MFSAB model school buses manufactured from October 20, 2008, through January 18, 2011. These buses are missing a required safety label that instructs drivers not to use the cross mirrors to view traffic while the bus is in motion. Without this label, drivers may rely on the cross mirrors for traffic visibility, but these mirrors do not accurately show another vehicle's location, which could result in a vehicle crash.

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on February 28, 2011. Affected consumers should contact Starcraft at 1-800-348-7440.
