Forest River Bus, LLC: Transit Buses Recalled for Unsecured Brake Lines

Agency Publication Date: April 5, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River Bus, LLC is recalling 3,680 transit buses across several brands, including Starcraft, Eldorado National, Champion, Elkhart Coach, and Glaval Universal models from years 2018 to 2034. The recall was issued because the brake lines on these vehicles may not be properly secured, allowing them to rub against the frame rail and suffer damage. If these lines are damaged, the vehicle could lose brake pressure, which may lead to a crash. Dealers will inspect and secure the brake lines for all affected owners at no cost.

Risk

Unsecured brake lines can vibrate or move against the vehicle's frame rail during operation, causing the lines to wear through or fail. This lead to a sudden loss of brake fluid and pressure, significantly increasing the distance required to stop and the risk of a collision.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is one of the following affected models: 2018-2024 Starcraft Allstar or Senator II; 2022-2024 Starcraft Allstar MVP or Senator II MVP; 2022-2024 Eldorado National Advantage; 2018 Starcraft Candidate II; 2023 Starcraft Starlite; 2023-2034 Champion Challenger; 2023-2034 Elkhart Coach ELKC; or 2019-2024 Glaval Universal transit buses.
  2. Contact a Forest River Bus dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair to have the brake lines properly secured.
  3. If you have questions, contact Forest River Bus Customer Service at 1-800-348-7440 and reference recall number 05-1756.
