Transport Canada recalls
01- Brakes#2024213
242 units affected
Issue: On certain transit buses, the brake lines may not be secured correctly. As a result, the brake lines could become damaged by contact with the frame rail. This could lead to a brake fluid leak and cause reduced braking. Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your bus to a dealership to secure the brake lines.
