What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2013-2019 Starcraft Bus Prodigy, 2010-2019 Starcraft Bus Quest, 2019 Starcraft Bus Senator II, Quest XL, and StarTrans Bus MFSAB buses equipped with specific CE White/HSM SB11-30" series school bus seats. The foam in the knee impact area of the lower seatback may not absorb enough impact energy during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury and violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222 for school bus passenger seating and crash protection.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will insert an additional piece of expanded polystyrene foam into the lower seatback area at no charge. The recall began November 1, 2018. Owners of affected buses should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3112 and reference recall number 05-0886 to arrange for the repair.
