The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Glaval Bus Apollo, Commute, Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy, Primetime, Titan II, Titan II Low Floor, and Universal transit buses. The seats were mounted with washers that may crack and dislodge, resulting in the seats being not securely mounted.

The risk

If the seat is loose at the base there would be an increased risk of injury in the event of a sudden stop or crash.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective washers, free of charge. The recall began on November 9, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-343-5167. Forest River's number for this recall is 35-0497.
