Starcraft Starlite recalls

  • Recall 18V799000Nov 12, 201838 vehiclesModel years 2017

    Risk: In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.

  • Recall 17V430000Jul 6, 2017557 vehiclesModel years 2015–2017

    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.

  • Recall 15V445000Jul 13, 2015800 vehiclesModel years 2005–2007

    Risk: If the buses are loaded beyond the GVWR rating on the certification label, the vehicle could have poor handling, tire or suspension failure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

  • Recall 15V298000May 20, 2015110 vehiclesModel years 2006–2015

    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.

  • Recall 14V018000Jan 27, 20141,954 vehiclesModel years 2010–2013

    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.

  • Recall 12V293000Jun 22, 20122,209 vehiclesModel years 2006–2010

  • Recall 12V268000Jun 8, 201261 vehiclesModel years 2011–2012
