Summary

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. THE LABEL INSTRUCTING DRIVERS TO NOT USE THE CROSS MIRRORS TO VIEW TRAFFIC WHILE THE BUS IS IN MOTION IS MISSING. ACCORDINGLY, THESE BUSES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE LABELING REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 111, "REVIEW MIRRORS."

Consequence

USING THE MIRRORS TO VIEW TRAFFIC WHILE THE BUS IS IN MOTION DOES NOT ACCURATELY SHOW ANOTHER VEHICLE'S LOCATION AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy

STARCRAFT WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE BUSES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 28, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT STARCRAFT AT 1-800-348-7440.
