Plain-English summary
Starcraft Bus is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Prodigy and Quest school buses manufactured between October 11, 2010, and January 3, 2011. These vehicles are equipped with bus seats manufactured by C.E. White that were sold and installed as original equipment.
The seats fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection." In the event of a crash, the seat back may fail, which increases the risk of injury to the occupant.
Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcing bracket provided by C.E. White. The safety recall began on April 5, 2012. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-347-7440 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
