What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River Bus) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Starcraft Allstar XL, 2022-2023 Allstar XLT, and 2022 Glaval Concorde II transit buses. The exterior-mounted air conditioning compressor may contact the optional stabilizer/sway bar, possibly causing mount failure and resulting in a loss of power or steering control.

The risk

A loss of power and/or steering control increases the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will inspect the vehicles for the optional sway bar. If equipped, a new compressor mount will be installed. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 16, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Bus Customer Service at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River Bus number for this recall is 05-1695.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

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.
