Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
StarTrans Bus Corporation is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2011 StarTrans MFSAB school activity buses because they were manufactured without a required warning decal on the rearview mirror. The missing decal is supposed to instruct bus operators to use cross view mirrors only when the bus is stopped and not to use them while the bus is moving. Without this warning, images in the cross view mirrors may not accurately show another vehicle's location, and improper mirror use could reduce the clear view to the rear, increasing the risk of a crash.
To remedy this issue, StarTrans will mail the required decal along with detailed instructions on where to place it to affected owners. The safety recall began on November 10, 2011. Owners of affected buses should contact StarTrans at 1-877-258-1391.
