What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2016-2017 StarTrans P/S2 and Glaval Legacy transit buses that were manufactured between November 2015 and August 2016. These buses are equipped with ICU3 instrument clusters and hydraulic brakes. The problem is that when a brake malfunction occurs, the dashboard warning indicator displays the word "PARK" instead of "BRAKE," which could prevent drivers from recognizing a braking system problem and increase the risk of a crash.

Forest River will replace the defective ICU3 dash instrument clusters at no cost to owners through authorized Daimler Trucks North America LLC service facilities. Owners of affected buses should contact StarTrans customer service at 1-574-642-3112, Glaval customer service at 1-574-343-5167, or DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 to arrange service. Forest River's reference number for this recall is 51-10022016-0252.
