Plain-English summary

Starcraft Bus is recalling certain model year 2008-2015 Prodigy and Quest school buses manufactured between October 20, 2008, and June 1, 2015. The recall involves 832 vehicles that may be equipped with Tire Placards displaying an incorrect kilopascal (kPa) value for tire pressures. Additionally, the labels may be missing information regarding the spare tire. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110.

If a tire is filled based on the incorrect information listed on the placard, the tire may be over-inflated. This condition could possibly result in sudden tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash.

Starcraft will notify owners and provide them with corrected labels free of charge. The recall began on September 4, 2015. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-348-7440 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
