What’s wrong with it?

A delay in exiting the vehicle during an emergency increases the risk of injury.

Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River Bus) is recalling certain 2024 Starcraft Allstar Transit buses.

The handle for the emergency exit window may not be visible to someone standing in the aisle, which can delay passengers from exiting in the event of an emergency.
