What’s wrong with it?
If the power distribution terminal strip has a poor connection or a loose connection, the strip may arc or overheat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Starcraft Bus (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Allstar, Starlite, Starquest, and Senator II transit buses manufactured June 20, 2006, to February 17, 2015 and built on a GM chassis.
