What this recall means for you
Some transit buses built in late 2012 have fuel injectors that may fail. When an injector fails, the engine can misfire and lose power, and in some cases the engine may stall, which raises the risk of a crash.
The recall covers certain transit buses with Navistar engines. Dealers will recalibrate the engine control module (ECM) software at no cost to the owner. Owners can also contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or Forest River customer service at 1-574-389-4600.
