NHTSA recall campaign
13V100000
What was wrong
Defect
Starcraft Bus is recalling certain model year 2004-2009 XLT buses manufactured from January 16, 2004, to October 29, 2009. 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."
Risk
A misprinted label could lead to improper vehicle loading. Improper loading could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
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. Owners may contact Starcraft Bus at 1-800-348-7440.
