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 passenger's seat belt assembly may break, allowing the seat-belt to separate from the vehicle.
