The short answer

NHTSA received STARCRAFT COMPANY’s report on Mar 6, 1991. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 24, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

SEAT FAILURES CAUSE THE SAFETY BELTS TO NOT PROPERLYRESTRAIN OCCUPANTS IN A SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.

SEAT PEDESTALS ON MIDSHIP SEATS WERE IMPROPERLY WELDED; THIS FAILURE OF THE SEAT BASE ADDS TO THE LOAD ON THE SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGE, WHICH IN TURN CAUSES A FAILURE TO MEET THE FMVSS 210 STANDARDS.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
