Greenpower is recalling 98 2020-2024 Beast School Bus and Nano Beast School Bus buses because the Cross View Mirror warning label is missing on affected buses. Without that label, a driver can use the altered mirror view to watch traffic instead of pedestrians around a stopped bus, increasing crash risk; the dealer repair is free.

What's wrong?
The cross view mirror on 2020-2024 Greenpower Beast School Bus and Nano Beast School Bus models is meant to help the driver see pedestrians around a stopped bus. The driver warning label explains that limit in plain terms: use the mirror for pedestrians while stopped, not to judge traffic while the bus is moving.
In recall 26V219, the mirror itself is not the failed part. The problem is the missing CV warning label. Greenpower traced the issue to unclear assembly and pre-delivery inspection work instructions, so some buses left production without the label visible to the seated driver.
What you notice is simple: the driver reminder is not there. If the label is missing, the driver does not have the required warning that cross view mirror images do not accurately show another vehicle's location.
Who's affected?
Covers both Greenpower school bus models across the 2020-2024 model years, all using the same driver crossview mirror warning label.

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?
The missing warning label leaves the driver without the reminder that the view has been altered. Using that altered view to judge surrounding traffic increases the risk of a crash. Schedule the label inspection and installation soon. Repair is free at any franchised Greenpower dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2024 Greenpower Beast School Bus or Nano Beast School Bus is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Greenpower dealer to schedule the free cross-view-mirror label inspection and installation, which adds the driver warning not to use that mirror for traffic.
- Bring the owner letter if Greenpower mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V219 when you call.
- Avoid using the cross-view mirror to check vehicle traffic until the label repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Greenpower technician inspects the cross view mirror warning label and installs the missing label when needed. The repair is available now, and parts and labor are free under the recall. If you paid for the label before the recall notice, Greenpower's reimbursement process accepts evidence of the label purchase in place of before and after inspection photos. Bring that proof and any related paperwork to the service desk so it can be submitted through Greenpower's vehicle database.
