Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River Bus, LLC is recalling 58 of its 2024 Glaval Universal and Mobility Trans Safetbus transit buses. These vehicles are equipped with GO-ES Space Saver Foldaway Seats that have a defective recliner mechanism. In affected seats, the recliner may not lock into place when fully reclined, failing to meet federal safety standards for seat belt anchorages. Owners can have these seats inspected and repaired by a dealer free of charge.

Risk

If the seat back is not properly locked, it could release or move suddenly under the weight of a passenger's shoulder belt during a crash. This movement significantly increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's make and model to see if it is a 2024 Forest River Glaval Universal or 2024 Mobility Trans Safetbus transit bus.
  2. Verify if your bus is equipped with GO-ES Space Saver Foldaway Seats, as these are the specific seats affected by the malfunction.
  3. Contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-800-348-7440 to arrange for a free inspection and repair. Mention Forest River recall number 51-1774 when calling.
  4. For additional information, you may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
