Summary

Starcraft Bus "Starcraft" is recalling certain model year 2015 Prodigy and Quest school buses manufactured August 21, 2014, to April 16, 2015. The affected vehicles have seat bottoms whose foam core may not meet the flammability requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" No. 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials."

Consequence

If the seats are built with this seat bottom foam core, the seats may not resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk that a fire may start or spread.

Remedy

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will replace the school bus seat bottoms with foam that is compliant to the safety standard, free of charge. The recall began on June 2, 2015. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-348-7440 or by email at starcraftwarranty"forestriverinc.com.
