What was wrong

Defect

Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River Bus) is recalling certain 2025 Collins Bus transit buses. The lock on the emergency exit door may fail to unlock. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

Risk

An emergency exit that remains locked can prevent or delay passengers from evacuating during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will replace the barrel latch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 25, 2025. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-620-888-3361. Forest River Bus's number for this recall is 551-1934.
