Recall 13V375 affects 23 2013-2014 Lion 360 school buses for right-side mirror visibility and decal problems. Repair is free at Lion service centers.
Lion is recalling 23 2013-2014 360 school buses because the right side mirror cannot show the full right side of the bus and the cross-view mirror instruction decal is missing. That limits the driver's view of people or objects beside the bus and raises injury or crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The mirror system on 2013-2014 Lion 360 school buses is supposed to give the driver a full view along the side of the bus and around the front crossing area. The right side mirror covers the side view, while the cross view mirrors help the driver check areas near the front of the bus where children stand or walk.
On affected buses, the right side mirror cannot be positioned so the complete right side of the vehicle is visible. The bus is also missing the decal that explains how to use the cross view mirrors. The recall filing does not identify a separate broken internal part; the problem is the mirror setup and the missing instruction label.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver or service technician can spot the issue by checking whether the right side mirror shows the full side of the bus and whether the cross view mirror instruction decal is present.
Who's affected?
Both model years list the same rearview mirror visibility component.
| 2013 Lion 360 | visibility component |
|---|---|
| 2014 Lion 360 | visibility component |
| Units affected | 23 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
Limited right-side mirror visibility can keep the driver from seeing people or objects along the right side of the bus, which increases the risk of personal injury or a crash. Use extra care around people and fixed objects until the mirror mounting is corrected. Repair will be free at any franchised Lion dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2014 Lion 360 is included in this recall.
- Watch for Lion's owner notice if you have not received it, then contact Lion for the free service-center repair path.
- Ask Lion to correct the mirror mounting so the right side of the bus is visible as required.
- Reference recall number 13V375 and Lion recall C20130902 when you call.
- Drive with extra care until the mirror correction is complete, and use a spotter around students or pedestrians when visibility is limited.
What happens at the repair
The official remedy says Lion service centers correct the right side mirror mounting so the bus meets the rearview mirror requirement. When the dealer repair is available, a Lion technician will adjust the mirror mounting and confirm the right side of the vehicle is visible from the driver's position. The missing cross view mirror decal is part of the compliance issue, so ask the service desk to confirm that labeling is handled during the same recall visit. Parts and labor are covered by the recall.
