What this recall means for you
Certain buses have a problem where the headlights can shut off while the driver switches from low beam to high beam. This can cut off the driver's view of the road and reduce how well other vehicles can see the bus, which raises the risk of a crash.
The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will install a supplemental wiring harness that keeps the headlights from shutting off unexpectedly. Forest River will notify owners. You can also contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-295-2117, referencing recall number 40-0241.
