The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Glaval Bus Commute transit buses built on a 2018 Ford Transit van chassis. The hazard lights on these vehicles may not illuminate or flash when the ignition is turned off. 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
If the hazard lights do not function when the ignition is off, the stopped vehicle may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will wire the hazard warning signal flashers into their programmable relay power centers, free of charge. The recall began on March 2, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-343-5111. Forest River's number for this recall is 35-0649.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
