What’s wrong with it?
A school bus roof panel with inadequate joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River) is recalling certain 2010-2020 Starcraft Prodigy, Quest, and 2013 Rondak school buses.
The exterior front roof panel was manufactured with inadequate joint strength.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 221, “School Bus Body Joint Strength.”
