- Summary
- Certain model year 2007 through 2011 startrans mfsab school activity buses were produced without the required decal on the rear view mirror which warns the bus operator to use the cross view mirrors while the bus is stopped and not to use the cross view mirrors while the bus is moving. Accordingly, the buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 111, "rearview mirrors."
- Consequence
- Images in cross view mirrors do not accurately show another vehicle's location, improper use of mirrors may reduce the clear and reasonably unobstructed view to the rear, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Startrans will mail the required decal along with detailed instructions on where to place the decal. The safety recall began on November 10, 2011. Owners may contact startrans at 1- 877-258-1391.

Vehicles covered
As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.
Has your Startrans been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Startrans dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
