- Tire pressure placards. Recall 15V-430 affects 832 buses produced between 2008 and 2015. Tire placards display incorrect kPa values and may omit spare tire info, violating FMVSS 110. Incorrect inflation could cause tire failure and crash risk. Owners will receive corrected labels at no charge beginning September 4, 2015.
- Alternator harness routing. Recall 14V-018 covers 1,954 buses from model years 2010 to 2013 on Ford chassis with Trans/Air compressors. A pinched harness caused by spring clamp positioning may lead to charging system failure or wire shorts causing fire risk. Dealers will inspect clamps and reroute wiring free of charge starting February 19, 2014.
Owners facing unresolved recall issues or repeated repairs related to these defects may have rights under their state’s lemon laws. Consulting an attorney familiar with lemon law cases is recommended for those affected.

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.
