Forest River, Inc.: Seat Belts › Front › Retractor
Forest River, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Jul 24, 2019 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 951. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Glaval Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy, Primetime, Universal, Commute, Startrans Candidate II, P/S2, Senator II, Senator II HD, Senator II MPV, and MFSAB buses. The driver's upper seat belt restraint and bottom retractor anchor bolts may not have been fully tightened during manufacturing, and, as a result, the bolts may loosen.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the tightness of the affected bolts, free of charge. The recall began August 27, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-1061.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 19V542000.
