Defect. 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."

Risk. A school bus roof panel with inadequate joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. Dealers will secure the exterior front roof section, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 31, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-1782.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
