- EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS
- Problem
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Glaval Bus Commute transit buses built on a 2018 Ford Transit van chassis. The hazard lights on these vehicles may not illuminate or flash when the ignition is turned off. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- If the hazard lights do not function when the ignition is off, the stopped vehicle may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will wire the hazard warning signal flashers into their programmable relay power centers, free of charge. The recall began on March 2, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-343-5111. Forest River's number for this recall is 35-0649.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2018 buses built on a Ford Transit van chassis may have hazard warning lights that do not illuminate or flash when the ignition is turned off. This fails federal lighting requirements.
A vehicle stopped with its hazard lights unable to work may be harder for other drivers to see, which increases the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and authorized dealers will wire the hazard warning signal flashers into the programmable relay power centers at no cost to you. You can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-343-5111 (recall number 35-0649), and you should check your VIN for any open recalls.
