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. Also, the decal explaining the use of the cross view mirrors is missing, thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" No. 111, "Rearview Mirrors."
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.
Lion Bus will notify owners and Lion Bus service centers correct the mirror mounting to bring the bus into compliance, free of charge. The recall began on January 6, 2014. Owners may contact Lion Bus at 1-450-432-5466. Lion Bus' recall number is C20130902.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
