Recall 11V585000: 2010–2011 Starcraft Prodigy, 2010–2011 Starcraft Quest

The problem

Starcraft is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 prodigy and quest school buses and mfsab activity vehicles manufactured from april 12, 2011, through june 6, 2011, equipped with c. E. White self-latching seat cushions. The self-latching mechanism used to retain the seat cushion to the frame may not activate.
