Forest River affected buses were assembled with an inconsistent application of adhesive to the roof panels.
The short version
Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the body roof and pillars. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected buses were assembled with an inconsistent application of adhesive to the roof panels. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."
Without a consistent application of adhesive, the panels may separate in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the joints for the proper amounts of adhesive, fixing them as necessary, free of charge.
