Defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015 Glaval Synergy transit buses manufactured March 23, 2015, to April 29, 2015. The affected vehicles are built on a Freightliner Custom Chassis and have steering boxes that were manufactured using incorrect internal spacers, resulting in premature wear in the connection between the steering wheel and the front axle.
Safety risk
The steering wheel's connection to the front axle could fail resulting in a sudden loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Forest River will notify owners, and Freightliner dealers will inspect and replace the steering box, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 10, 2016. Note: Owners are urged not to drive their vehicles until they have been inspected.
