Forest River Recalls 2016-2017 StarTrans and Glaval Transit Buses
Forest River is recalling 2016-2017 StarTrans and Glaval transit buses because the instrument cluster may display 'PARK' instead of 'BRAKE' during a brake malfunction, increasing crash risk.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the instrument cluster may fail to correctly indicate a brake malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 StarTrans P/S2 and Glaval Legacy transit buses. The recall covers vehicles manufactured between November 9, 2015, and August 4, 2016, that are equipped with ICU3 instrument clusters and hydraulic brakes.
In the event of a brake malfunction, the instrument cluster may illuminate the Brake System Malfunction telltale/indicator lamp with the word "PARK" instead of the word "BRAKE." This failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 101 and 105 means the driver may be unaware of a braking issue or malfunction, which increases the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) authorized service facilities will replace the ICU3 dash instrument clusters free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners on November 23, 2016. Owners may contact StarTrans customer service at 1-574-642-3112, Glaval customer service at 1-574-343-5167, or DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712.
