WOODSTOCK STOP ARM-FRONT
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Woodstock Safety Mirror Co. is recalling certain Stop Arms (model number 03G13CH, part number 8000-1135C) manufactured between July 3, 2013, and September 1, 2013. These stop arms have a border width of 10mm instead of the required 12mm, which means the front border is obscured by more than the maximum allowed 15 percent. This non-compliance with federal safety standards may make the stop arm less noticeable and reduce the visibility of a stopped school bus, increasing the risk of pedestrian injury.
Woodstock will notify owners of the affected stop arms and will send a replacement border decal kit free of charge to those who purchased them. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners should contact Woodstock at 1-845-247-3429 for more information.
