Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Starcraft is recalling certain 2010 and 2011 Prodigy and Quest school buses and MFSAB activity vehicles manufactured between April 12, 2011, and June 6, 2011, that are equipped with C.E. White self-latching seat cushions. The self-latching mechanism that holds the seat cushion to the frame may fail to activate, which could cause the seat cushion to flip up out of place during a vehicle crash, potentially injuring occupants. A displaced seat cushion could also block emergency exits from the vehicle.
Starcraft will notify owners of the recall, and authorized dealers will repair the buses at no charge. The recall began on January 9, 2012. Affected owners should contact Starcraft Bus at 1-800-348-7440.
