Startrans recall: Structure
What is wrong
Startrans is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2011 model mfsab school activity buses. The rear door emergency exit is partially blocked by the bus seats. Accordingly, these buses fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release."
What could happen
Egress from the bus may be hindered in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury to the bus occupants.
The fix
Startrans will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on january 23, 2012. Owners may contact startrans at 1-877-258-1391.
