Lion Bus Inc.: Visibility › Rearview Mirrors/Devices
Lion Bus Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 20, 2013 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 23. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
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 risk
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.
The remedy
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.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 13V375000.
