Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Starcraft Bus is recalling certain 2010-2013 transit buses including the Allstar XL, Ultrastar, Allstar, Starlite, Starquest, Xpress, Prodigy, Quest, and Allstar MVP models built on Ford cutaway chassis with 5.4L or 6.8L engines and Trans/Air-brand air compressors. The problem involves the alternator harness potentially being pinched between a heater hose spring clamp and the air conditioner compressor mounting bracket, depending on how the harness is routed and how the clamp is oriented.
This pinching can cause the charging system to fail, which may lead to the vehicle stalling while driving and increasing crash risk. Additionally, the spring clamp could pierce both the positive and negative wires in the alternator harness, creating a short circuit that could result in a fire. Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles, correct the clamp installation, and repair and reroute the alternator harness as needed at no cost. Affected consumers should contact Starcraft at 1-800-347-7440.
