1 units affected
Issue: On one school bus, the body panels may not have been attached correctly. As a result, the bus may not meet the joint strength requirements of Canadian regulations, and the panels could separate in a crash. Safety Risk: A body joint that separates in a crash could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their school bus to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, add adhesive to secure the body panel joints.

69 units affected
Issue: On certain school buses, the wheelchair tie-down retractors may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the retractor(s) may not lock automatically. If this happens, the wheelchair may not be secured correctly and could move in a crash. Safety Risk: A wheelchair that moves in a crash could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: None of the affected school buses have been delivered to customers. Forest River will instruct dealers to inspect and, if necessary, replace the wheelchair retractor(s) before the school buses are delivered.
- Structure#2025290
68 units affected
Issue: On certain school buses, the latch for the rear emergency exit may not work properly. As a result, the emergency exit could stay locked. This could prevent occupants from using the emergency exit and/or delay occupants from escaping the bus in an emergency. Safety Risk: An emergency exit that can't be opened could slow your exit from the bus in an emergency. This could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Forest River advises you not to lock the rear emergency exit until the recall repairs have been completed. Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your school bus to a dealership to replace the rear emergency exit latch.
- Seats And Restraints#2024614
14 units affected
Issue: On certain school buses, the latch bar for the universal anchorage system (UAS) may not have been installed properly. As a result, you may not be able to properly attach a child seat using the UAS. Safety Risk: A child or booster seat that isn't properly attached could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your school bus to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the universal anchorage system (UAS) latch bar.
