The defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Starcraft All Star XL, 2013 Starcraft All Star, and XLT transit buses manufactured October 17, 2012, to November 20, 2012. The affected vehicles may have an improperly routed engine grid heater power feed cable which can result in the cable contacting the metal edge on the cab.
The risk
If the cable contacts the metal edge of the cab, it may cause an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a cable tie to provide proper clearance for the engine grid heater power feed cable, free of charge. The recall began on September 18, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River's customer service at 1-574-389-4600. Forest River's number for this recall is 5-08102015-0072.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
