   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 Startrans Activity Bus, Azure Hybrid, Candidate, Senator, Senator HD, Senator II, President, President S2, Sentinel Van, and Trolley shuttle buses manufactured May 9, 2008, to August 9, 2014, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts by Ricon. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack. Additionally, the lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Supreme will notify owners and advise them to contact Ricon, and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2016. Owners may contact Supreme customer service at 1-800-642-4889 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.

   Report filed by Supreme Corporation. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 29 Jun 2016.

2. 13V083000Received 28 Feb 2013. 4 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Startrans MFSAB school buses equipped with Ricon manufactured wheelchair lifts which have an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Ricon will be conducting this recall on behalf of Supreme. Ricon will notify the affected owners and will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. The recall began on March 8, 2013. Owners may contact Supreme at 1-877-258-1391 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000.

   Report filed by Supreme Corporation. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 8 Mar 2013.

3. 12V185000Received 27 Apr 2012. 4 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans is recalling certain 2009 and 2010 mfsab school buses, equipped with braun wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair’s occupant could fall and sustain injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers free of charge. The recall began on june 7, 2012. Owners may contact startrans at 1-574-642-0811.

   Report filed by STARTRANS BUS CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 7 Jun 2012.

4. 11V572000Received 2 Dec 2011. 69 units.

   Seats / Barriers

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 mfsab school buses manufactured from april 14, 2010, through june 7, 2011, equipped with c. E. White self-latching seat cushions. The self-latching mechanism used to retain the seat cushion to the frame may not activate. Accordingly, these seats fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle occupants may be injured in the event of a vehicle crash should the seat cushion flip up out of place. Also, out of position seat cushions could interfere with emergency egress of the vehicle.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans will notify owners, and dealers will repair the seats free of charge. The safety recall began on january 16, 2012. Owners may contact startrans at 1-574-642-4730.

   Report filed by STARTRANS BUS CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 16 Jan 2012.

5. 11V546000Received 9 Nov 2011. 161 units.

   Structure / Body / Door

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2011 model mfsab school activity buses. The rear door emergency exit is partially blocked by the bus seats. Accordingly, these buses fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Egress from the bus may be hindered in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury to the bus occupants.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on january 23, 2012. Owners may contact startrans at 1-877-258-1391.

   Report filed by STARTRANS BUS CORPORATION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 23 Jan 2012.

6. 11V492000Received 3 Oct 2011. 444 units.

   Visibility / Rearview Mirrors/Devices / Interior

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain model year 2007 through 2011 startrans mfsab school activity buses were produced without the required decal on the rear view mirror which warns the bus operator to use the cross view mirrors while the bus is stopped and not to use the cross view mirrors while the bus is moving. Accordingly, the buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 111, "rearview mirrors."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Images in cross view mirrors do not accurately show another vehicle's location, improper use of mirrors may reduce the clear and reasonably unobstructed view to the rear, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans will mail the required decal along with detailed instructions on where to place the decal. The safety recall began on november 10, 2011. Owners may contact startrans at 1- 877-258-1391.

   Report filed by STARTRANS BUS CORPORATION. Manufacturer campaign number 000314. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 10 Nov 2011.

7. 11V225000Received 11 Apr 2011. 29 units.

   Equipment / Appliance / Air Conditioner

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 mfsab school buses equipped with carrier genv em-1 evaporator units. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and a vehicle fire may occur.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Startrans will notify owners and provide information on how to obtain the retrofit kit from carrier along with repair instructions. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on april 18, 2011. (see carrier's recall campaign 11e-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1-800-793-4741 or startrans at 1-574-642-0810 or 1-574-642-0096.

   Seats / Barriers

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

The barrier for leg protection was built using the wrong gauge of material and fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   In the event of a crash, the seat occupant(s) may not be adequately protected, increasing the risk of injury.
