NHTSA Campaign 19V427000

STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT

Issued by Forest River, Inc. · Reported Jun 7, 2019 · 46 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Glaval Universal transit buses, models US50225, US50225C, US50226, US50226C, and US80227C. The buses are missing one egress window on the curbside and roadside of the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

Consequence

In the event of an emergency necessitating escape from the vehicle, the lack of egress windows may trap occupants inside, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install one additional egress window on each the curbside and roadside of the vehicle, free of charge. The recall began on June 24, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-1029.
