The problem

Starcraft is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 prodigy and quest school buses, manufactured from october 11, 2010 through january 3, 2011. These buses are equipped with bus seats manufactured by c.e. White. The seats were sold and installed as original equipment for certain starcraft school buses. The seats fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."

The risk

In the event of a crash, the seat back may fail, increasing the risk of injury to the seat’s occupant.

The fix

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcing bracket that c.e. White has provided. The safety recall began on april 5, 2012. Owners may contact starcraft at 1-800-347-7440.
