Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have incorrect values for the gross vehicle weight rating and gross axle weight rating specified on the certification label. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."

Why it matters: A misprinted label could lead to improper vehicle loading. Improper loading could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will remedy the buses by either providing a new certification label, adding additional suspension and upgrading the rear tires, or removing seats. The safety recall began on April 1, 2013.
