What this recall means for you
Some buses have brake lines that are not secured properly. Over time, the lines can contact the frame rail and become damaged, which can cause a loss of brake pressure.
Loss of brake pressure makes it harder to stop the bus and raises the risk of a crash. Owners should have the brake lines checked as soon as possible.
Authorized dealers will inspect and secure the brake lines at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed May 1, 2024, and you can contact Forest River Bus Customer Service at 1-800-348-7440 with questions. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
