Glaval Bus / Startrans recall: Seat belts
What is wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Glaval Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy, Primetime, Universal, Commute, Startrans Candidate II, P/S2, Senator II, Senator II HD, Senator II MPV, and MFSAB buses. The driver's upper seat belt restraint and bottom retractor anchor bolts may not have been fully tightened during manufacturing, and, as a result, the bolts may loosen.
What could happen
If the bolts loosen, the seat belt assembly may fail to restrain the occupant in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the tightness of the affected bolts, free of charge. The recall began August 27, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-1061.
