Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Forest River is recalling certain 2018-2019 Glaval Bus shuttle buses equipped with Safe Fleet Prolo Roof Escape hatches due to a manufacturing defect that can cause the roof hatch external handle to break during normal use. If the handle breaks, the hatch cannot be easily opened from outside the vehicle during an emergency, creating a risk of injury and violating federal safety standards for bus emergency exits.
According to the record, Forest River will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the hatch at no charge. Affected owners should contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-748-3440 and reference recall number 05-1115 to arrange the replacement.
