Starcraft Quest recalls
Risk: If the coupling fails, the vehicle will not be able to move under its own power and the disconnected driveshaft may impact and damage the brake and fuel lines. Additionally, the separated driveshaft may allow the vehicle to roll if the vehicle is exited when the transmission is in 'Park' but the parking brake is not applied. These scenarios may increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the tire is filled based on the incorrect information listed on the placard, the tire may be over inflated, possibly resulting in sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the power distribution terminal strip has a poor connection or a loose connection, the strip may arc or overheat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Risk: If the seats are built with this seat bottom foam core, the seats may not resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk that a fire may start or spread.
Risk: High resistance may cause the board to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: The charging system may fail which could lead to the vehicle stalling while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the spring clamp could pierce both the positive and negative wires of the alternator harness creating a short circuit which could result in a fire.
Risk: In the event of a crash, the seat back may fail, increasing the risk of injury to the seats occupant.
Risk: Vehicle occupants may be injured in the event of a vehicle crash should the seat cushion flip up out of place. Also, out of position seat cushions could interfere with emergency egress of the vehicle.
Risk: In the event of an emergency, the vehicle occupants may be unable to open the rear door, which would hinder egress of the bus, possibly resulting in injury to the vehicle occupants.
Risk: Using the mirrors to view traffic while the bus is in motion does not accurately show another vehicle's location and could result in a vehicle crash.
Risk: In the event of a crash, serious injury or death can occur as a result of the structural collapse of the school bus body panels.
Risk: The seat occupants may be injured in the event of a crash.
