Plain-English summary

Frontrunner Bus Group, Inc. is recalling certain 2025 Frontrunner transit buses. The recall addresses a defect in the wheelchair restraint system where the retractors may not lock, preventing the wheelchair from being properly secured.

An unsecured wheelchair can move during transit, which increases the risk of injury to the occupant. Frontrunner will work with Q'Straint to inspect and replace the retractors free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 3, 2026. Owners may contact Frontrunner's customer service at 1-800-886-9247 for more information.
