Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2021 Starcraft Bus All Star ST93109 transit buses built on a Ford chassis. The recall addresses a defect where the wire harness may contact the vehicle frame, resulting in chaffing of the wiring for the fuel pump and the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Damage to the fuel pump circuit in the wiring harness could result in an unexpected engine stall. Damage to the ABS wiring can lead to a reduction of ABS functionality and a loss of roll stability control (RSC) functionality. These scenarios increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and Ford dealers will inspect the wire harness for damage. If no damage is found, dealers will apply anti-abrasion tape over the area and ensure clearance to surrounding components. If damage is found, dealers will splice in new wire and apply anti-abrasion tape over the area and ensure clearance to surrounding components. All services will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 25, 2021. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
