Summary: During extreme braking application the front axle rolls forward, pushing the steering arm forward, and non-uniform braking effort, caused by various brake component conditions, results in the vehicle pulling to the right.
Consequence: Unexpected pull to the right during brake applicationcould result in loss of steering control and an accident.
Remedy: Axle roll will be corrected by stiffening the upper torque arm to reduce the allowance for axle roll and relocating the upper torque arm to eliminate the interference with the steering arm. The non-uniform braking effort will be corrected by repairing the brakes in accordance with rockwell brake standards.
Notes: System: front suspension.vehicle description: buses delivered to the regional transit district of denver,colorado.

Has your Starship been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Starship dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
