Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River Bus, LLC is recalling 5 of its 2024 Elkhart Coach ELKC transit buses because the rear brake lines may not be properly attached to the frame rail on the driver's side. If these lines remain unsecured, they can rub against the vehicle's rail, which can damage the lines and lead to a total loss of brake pressure. Dealers will inspect, secure, and repair these brake lines for free to ensure the vehicle's braking system remains functional and safe.

Risk

A loss of brake pressure can significantly reduce braking performance or cause the brakes to fail entirely, which increases the risk of a crash. No injuries or accidents have been reported for this specific recall to date.
