Starcraft Buses Recalled for Wheelchair Lift Roll Stop Latch Defect
Starcraft is recalling 2006-2010 buses with specific wheelchair lifts because roll stop latches may bend, allowing occupants to fall from the elevated platform.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a wheelchair occupant could fall from an elevated platform and sustain injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities.
Plain-English summary
Starcraft Bus is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 buses equipped with Braun Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The affected models include the Allstar XL, Allstar, Starlite, Starquest, Ultrastar, and XLT.
Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned. This defect could allow a wheelchair occupant to defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs while the lift platform is in an elevated position, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.
Starcraft will notify owners, and authorized Braun dealers will perform the repairs free of charge. Owners may contact Starcraft Bus at 1-800-347-7440 for more information.
