Summary

Lion Bus is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 360 school buses. The right side mirror cannot be positioned to have the complete right side of the vehicle in view.

Consequence

The driver may not be able to see people or objects along the right side of the vehicle, increasing the risk of personal injury or a crash.
