The defect
Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River) is recalling certain 2010-2020 Starcraft Prodigy, Quest, and 2013 Rondak school buses. The exterior front roof panel was manufactured with inadequate joint strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."
The risk
A school bus roof panel with inadequate joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Dealers will secure the exterior front roof section, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 31, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-1782.

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.
