2017–2018 Glaval Bus Apollo & 2017–2018 Glaval Bus Commute + 7 more recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Glaval Apollo, Commute, Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy, Primetime, Titan II, Titan II Low Floor, and Universal transit buses. A washer used in mounting the driver's seat belt assembly may break, allowing the seat-belt to separate from the vehicle.
💥 The risk
If the seat belt end does not remain secured to the vehicle, the occupant will not be restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Forest River has notified owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt mounting washers, free of charge. The recall began on July 2, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-343-5167. Forest River's number for this recall is 35-0751.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
