Plain-English summary
Foretravel, Inc. is recalling certain 2025-2027 Realm Presidential and 2025-2026 Realm motorcoaches. The recall addresses a defect where the exterior brake lights may remain illuminated even when the driver is not applying the brakes. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, which governs lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
The defect poses a safety risk because brake lights that remain on may fail to alert other vehicles of the driver's intention, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Foretravel will work with Shyft to replace the pressure switch free of charge to correct the issue. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 28, 2026. Owners may contact Foretravel customer service at 1-800-955-6226 for more information.
