NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Foretravel, Inc. (Foretravel) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Realm Presidential motorcoaches. The exterior brake lights may remain illuminated when the driver is not applying the brakes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Brake lights that remain on may fail to alert other vehicles of the driver's intention, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Foretravel will work with Shyft to replace the pressure switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 21, 2026. Owners may contact Foretravel customer service at 1-800-955-6226.
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.
