Forest River Bus, LLC is recalling 67 Trans Tech school buses from model years 2025 and 2026 because their seating layout may cause the rear axle to carry more weight than it was designed to handle. This condition violates federal safety standards for wheels and rims. Dealers will modify the seating floor plan at no cost to the owner and will provide a refund if the fix reduces the total number of available seats.
If the rear axle is overloaded, the driver may lose control of the bus, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Dealers will modify the seating free of charge.
Refund for lost seating capacity.
Manufacturer recall number 05-2015; NHTSA campaign number 26V014.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
