There are five recalls involving the 2013 STARCRAFT PRODIGY impacting various components including the electrical system, air conditioner compressor mounts, tire labels, and alternator harness. These recalls cover risks such as vehicle fires, incorrect tire pressure labeling, and possible stalling due to charging system failure.
Recalls- Air conditioner compressor mount. Recall 15V-213 affects 76 vehicles. The power distribution terminal strip may not be properly reconnected after installing the Trans-Air add-on compressor mount kits. A poor or loose connection can cause arcing or overheating, increasing fire risk. Owners will be notified for inspection and correction at no charge.
- Electrical system wiring. Recall 15V-213 also covers wiring issues in the same 76 vehicles cited above. The poor connection of the power distribution terminal strip raises the risk of vehicle fire. Dealers will inspect and repair the connections free of charge.
- Tire placards and labels. Recall 15V-430 addresses 832 vehicles with tire placards displaying incorrect kilopascal values or missing spare tire information. Incorrect tire pressure could lead to sudden tire failure and increase crash risk. Starcraft will provide corrected labels to owners at no cost.
- Tire information compliance. Recall 15V-430 affects the same 832 vehicles as above. The tire placards fail to comply with FMVSS 110 requirements. The risk involves potential tire over inflation and sudden failure. Corrective labels will be issued free to owners.
- Alternator harness and clamp. Recall 14V-018 involves 1,954 vehicles. The alternator harness can be pinched by the heater hose spring clamp against the air conditioner compressor bracket, risking charging system failure and stalling or a short circuit that may cause fire. Inspection and repairs will be done free of charge.
Owners who face repeated repairs related to these recalls or encounter unresolved safety defects should consider their rights under state lemon laws. Such laws may provide remedies for vehicles with persistent issues or serious safety concerns.

TIRES
Starcraft Bus (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2008-2015 Prodigy and Quest school buses manufactured October 20, 2008, to June 1, 2015. The affected vehicles may be equipped with Tire Placards that display an incorrect kilopascal (kPa) value for tire pressures. The label may also be missing the spare tire information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less."
Risk: If the tire is filled based on the incorrect information listed on the placard, the tire may be over inflated, possibly resulting in sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Starcraft Bus (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Quest and Prodigy school buses manufactured June 20, 2006, through February 17, 2015 on GM chassis. The affected vehicles are equipped with Trans-Air add-on compressor mount kits, part numbers 4012506-01, 4012506-02, 4013126-01, 4013126-02, 4013235-01, 4013235-02, 4012909, 4013125, 4013222 and 717173 installed by Trans-Air personnel. After installing the compressor, a power distribution terminal strip may not have been properly reconnected.
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
Starcraft Bus is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Allstar XL, Ultrastar, Allstar, Starlite, Starquest, Xpress, Prodigy, Quest, and Allstar MVP transit buses built on Ford cutaway chassis equipped with Ford 5.4L or 6.8L engines and Trans/Air-brand air compressors. In the affected vehicles, depending on the routing of the alternator harness, and the orientation of the heater hose spring clamp at the front of the intake manifold, the alternator harness may be pinched between the spring clamp and the air conditioner compressor mounting bracket.
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.
