Plain-English summary
Starcraft Bus is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Quest and Prodigy school buses manufactured between June 20, 2006, and February 17, 2015. The affected vehicles are built on GM chassis and equipped with specific Trans-Air add-on compressor mount kits installed by Trans-Air personnel.
The recall addresses a defect where a power distribution terminal strip may not have been properly reconnected after the compressor installation. If the connection is poor or loose, the strip may arc or overheat, which increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
