What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

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."

The risk

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.

The 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.

Notes

OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO <A HREF=HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV>HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV</A> .

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
