2000–2005 Corbeil Minibus recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain my 1998-2005 corbeil Minibus school buses manufactured between january 28, 2003, and february 25, 2005, and built on ford chassis. The front cross view mirrors fail to conform to the visibility requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 111, rear view mirrors.
💥 The risk
Driver's do not have a complete view of the front of the bus. The presence of a child near the front bumper could not been seen by the driver and the child could be seriously injured or killed should the vehicle move.
🔧 The fix
Corbeil will notify its customers and replace the right hand cross mirror bracket to bring the vehicle into compliance with the regulation free of charge. The recall began on june 3, 2005. Owners may contact corbeil at 1-888-439-3577 ext. 236.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
