For scale, 4,061 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 months.
Defect
On large touring buses, the bracket on the stay that mounts the left-side rear-view mirror is improperly shaped, creating a gap between it and the body-side bracket. When the bolt is tightened, a crack forms in the stay-side bracket. Continued use may cause the rear-view mirror to detach in the worst case.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the left-side rear-view mirror bracket with the corrected part.
