⚠️ What's 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.

Egress from the bus may be hindered in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury to the bus occupants.

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.)
