Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2022 StarCraft Starquest ST93079 school buses. 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 could result in an unexpected engine stall. Damage to the ABS wiring can lead to a reduction in 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 and ensure clearance to surrounding components. If damage is found, dealers will splice in new wire and apply anti-abrasion tape. All services will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440.
