The defect
Titan Bus is recalling certain 2017-2021 SRW and DRW school and multi-function school activity buses. The warning label may be missing from the Cross View Mirror. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The risk
Without a warning label the driver may rely on the mirror to see the location of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Titan Bus mailed the warning labels to owners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 11, 2023. Owners may contact Titan Bus customer service at 1-419-523-3593.
