Summary

Forest River, Inc. "Forest River" is recalling certain 2014 Starcraft Bus Prodigy School Buses. The affected buses were assembled with an inconsistent application of adhesive to the roof panels.

Consequence

Without a consistent application of adhesive, the panels may separate in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the joints for the proper amounts of adhesive, fixing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 9, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-0527.
