What's wrong?
The wiring harness on the 2022 Starcraft Bus Starquest is the bundled set of wires that carries power and signals to key systems. In this recall, the harness includes wiring tied to the fuel pump and the anti-lock braking system, which helps keep the wheels from locking during hard braking.
On affected Starquest school buses, the harness sits close enough to the vehicle frame that it can rub against it. That rubbing wears through the wire covering because the harness does not have enough protection at the contact point. Damaged wiring can interrupt fuel pump, trailer tow, and anti-lock brake signals.
There is no warning sign before failure. That means a driver can have harness damage before a clear warning appears from the driver's seat. The problem is hidden in the wiring path, so the repair focuses on inspecting and protecting the harness where it contacts the frame.

What's the safety risk?
Damage to the fuel pump circuit can cause an unexpected engine stall. Damage to the ABS wiring can reduce ABS function and remove roll stability control, increasing crash risk. Drive cautiously until the harness inspection is complete, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Starcraft Bus dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Starcraft Bus Starquest is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Starcraft Bus dealer to schedule the free wire-harness inspection and repair that protects the fuel-pump and ABS wiring from frame contact.
- Ask the dealer to inspect the harness, add anti-abrasion tape, and repair damaged wiring if the harness is damaged.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 20V210 when you call.
- Avoid driving the bus until service is scheduled if it has stalled or shows braking or stability-control problems.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Starcraft Bus technician inspects the wire harness where it runs near the vehicle frame. If the harness is not damaged, the technician applies anti-abrasion tape and checks clearance from nearby parts. If damage is found, the technician splices in new wire, adds the protective tape, and confirms the harness has proper clearance. Parts and labor are free under the recall. The manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan applies to documented out-of-pocket repairs already paid for this issue, so keep prior repair paperwork for review.
