Summary

Forest River, Inc. "Forest River" is recalling certain 2022 StarCraft Starquest ST93079 school buses. The wire harness may contact the vehicle frame, resulting in chaffing of the wiring for the fuel pump and the anti-lock braking system "ABS".

Consequence

Damage to the fuel pump circuit in the wiring harness could result in an unexpected engine stall. Damage to the ABS wiring can lead to reduction of ABS functionality and a loss of roll stability control "RSC" functionality. These scenarios increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners and Ford dealers will inspect the wire harness for damage. If no damage is found, dealers will apply anti-abrasion tape over the area and ensure clearance to surrounding components. If damage is found, dealers will splice in new wire and apply anti-abrasion tape over the area and ensure clearance to surrounding components. All services will be performed free of charge. The remedy for this recall is still under development. Forest River sent owners an interim notice on April 28, 2020. A final notification will be sent once a remedy is finalized. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1156.
