STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
A school bus roof panel with inadequate joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A school bus roof panel with inadequate joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
If the seat foam does not absorb enough impact energy, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.
Without a consistent application of adhesive, the panels may separate in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
Two 2014 STARCRAFT BUS PRODIGYs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
