2007 STARCRAFT ALLSTAR; 2009 STARCRAFT ALLSTAR; 2008 STARCRAFT ALLSTAR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Starcraft Bus is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 Allstar Shuttle buses manufactured between December 1, 2007 and December 18, 2009 that are equipped with Ricon Public Use lifts. The restraint belts on these lifts can be inserted into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism, which means the belt can appear to be properly fastened when it is not. If the restraint belt is not fully latched, the lift can operate even with a person standing on its platform, creating a risk of injury.
Starcraft Bus and Ricon will provide affected owners with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid to address this issue. According to the record, owners of affected buses should contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or Starcraft Bus at 1-800-348-7440 to receive the recall remedy materials.

STARCRAFT BUS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 THROUGH 2009 ALLSTAR SHUTTLE BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM DECEMBER 1, 2007 THROUGH DECEMBER 18, 2009 AND FITTED WITH RICON PUBLIC USE LIFTS. THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE. RICON HAS DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO INSERT THE BELT TONGUE INTO THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FULLY ENGAGING THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT. IF THE RESTRAINT BELT TONGUE IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE RESTRAINT BELT BUCKLE, AND LATCHED, THE LIFT MAY OPERATE WITH AN OCCUPANT ON THE PLATFORM.
