Amtran Genesis and 2 more

Reported Oct 24, 1995495 vehicles affectedAMERICAN TRANSPORTATION CORP.Built May 1, 1995 – Oct 1, 1995

The defect

These buses have a rearview mirror system that does not meet the viewing requirements of fmvss no. 111, "rearview mirrors."

The risk

Consequence of non-compliance: reduced reflective area on the outside rearview mirror reduces the drivers apparent area of visibility to the rear of the bus increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

The remedy

Two add-on convex mirrors will be provided to the vehicle owner with instructions for mounting. If the owner prefers, he may take the bus to an amtran dealer who will install the mirrors.
