NHTSA recall 11V585000
Seats · Starcraft Bus
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with c. E. White self-latching seat cushions. The self-latching mechanism used to retain the seat cushion to the frame may not activate. Accordingly, these seats fail to conform to the with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
Why it matters: Vehicle occupants may be injured in the event of a vehicle crash should the seat cushion flip up out of place. Also, out of position seat cushions could interfere with emergency egress of the vehicle.
The fix: Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on January 9, 2012.
