Foretravel Realm Recall 26V486: Brake lights may stay on when brakes aren't applied

NHTSA campaign 26V486, reported July 27, 2026, 51 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2025-2027 Foretravel Realm and Realm Presidential motorcoaches may have exterior brake lights that stay illuminated when the driver is not pressing the brake pedal. This means the vehicle does not meet federal lighting safety requirements (FMVSS 108).

Because brake lights that remain on can stop giving drivers behind you a reliable signal of your intentions, the risk of a rear-end crash increases. Owners should take this recall seriously and get the repair scheduled promptly.

The remedy is free. Foretravel will work with Shyft to replace the pressure switch at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed August 28, 2026. Contact Foretravel customer service at 1-800-955-6226, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
