NHTSA recall 12V089000
Seats · Starcraft Bus
Details
What's wrong: These buses are equipped with bus seats manufactured by c.e. White. The seats were sold and installed as original equipment for certain starcraft school buses. The seats fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the seat back may fail, increasing the risk of injury to the seatâs occupant.
The fix: Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcing bracket that c.e. White has provided. The safety recall began on April 5, 2012.
