Summary

Forest River Bus is recalling 41 units of its 2025 Collins Bus transit buses. The lock on the emergency exit door may malfunction and fail to unlock, which violates federal safety standards for bus emergency exits and window release. Forest River Bus dealers will replace the emergency exit door barrel latch free of charge to ensure the exit functions correctly.
