Forest River Bus is recalling 213 units of the 2026 Collins Bus school bus because the adhesive used on body panel joints may have been applied to the wrong locations. This error can cause the panels to separate, which means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for school bus body joint strength. Dealers will inspect the joints and apply additional adhesive where necessary at no cost to owners.
The structural integrity of the bus is compromised if the body panels separate. In the event of a crash, this failure increases the risk of injury to the passengers inside the vehicle.
