Summary

Forest River, Inc. "Forest River" is recalling certain 2017 Starcraft Bus Prodigy, Prodigy LP, and Quest school buses. The screws used to secure the floor in these buses may be too long and can damage the fuel lines underneath.

Consequence

If the fuel lines are damaged from the screws that are too long, fuel may leak and cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the leaking fuel may increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Forest River has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel lines, replacing them as necessary, and will install shorter length screws to secure the floor, free of charge. The recall began on December 14, 2017. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-0592.
