Recall 15V430 affects 832 2008-2015 Starcraft Quest and Prodigy school buses with incorrect tire placards. Starcraft provides corrected labels free.
Starcraft is recalling 832 2008-2015 Quest and Prodigy school buses because the tire placard lists the wrong tire-pressure value and lacks spare tire information. If owners inflate tires from that label, a tire can be overinflated and fail suddenly, increasing crash risk; Starcraft dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The tire placard on 2008-2015 Starcraft Quest and Prodigy school buses is the label that tells an owner or service shop which tire pressures belong on the bus. It lists pressure values in kilopascals and carries spare tire information so the tires are set and checked against the correct label.
On affected buses, the placard was printed with the wrong kilopascal value for tire pressure. The label also listed spare tire information incorrectly when no spare tire was present at manufacture. Starcraft's corrected label uses a lower kilopascal value for the rear tire than the recalled label.
The tires are not the defective part in this recall. The problem is the information printed on the label, which can point a driver or shop to the wrong inflation setting. There is no warning sign before failure because the issue is printed information, not a part that changes how the bus feels.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect tire placard can lead an owner to overinflate a tire. Overinflation can result in sudden tire failure and increase the risk of a crash. Until the corrected label is installed, use the corrected Starcraft tire-pressure guidance instead of the old placard. Repair is free at any franchised Starcraft dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2015 Starcraft Quest or Prodigy school bus is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Starcraft dealer or Starcraft customer service at 1-800-348-7440 to request the free corrected tire placards.
- Reference recall number 15V430 when you call, and have the bus VIN ready.
- Install the corrected tire-pressure and spare-tire labels before relying on the old placard for inflation information.
- Use the tire pressure information from the corrected label after it arrives; the old placard can lead to overinflation and sudden tire failure.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Starcraft technician supplies corrected tire pressure labels for the affected Quest and Prodigy buses. The corrected placards replace the incorrect kilopascal tire pressure value and add the missing spare tire information where needed. The recall repair is free, and the corrected labels are provided at no charge. Starcraft has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign, so owners who already paid for a related label correction can contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-348-7440 with repair paperwork and payment documentation.
