Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River Bus, LLC is recalling 592 transit buses from model years 2025-2026, including models like the Starcraft Starlite, Allstar, and StarTrans Senator II. These vehicles are equipped with QRT-Deluxe or QRT-Max wheelchair restraints that may have faulty retractors that fail to lock. Dealers will inspect and replace the retractors for free to ensure wheelchairs are properly secured.
