   Structure / Emergency / Escape/Egress/Exit

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2008-2016 Glaval Bus Apollo, Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy, Primetime, Sport, Titan, Titan II, and Titan II Low Floor transit buses manufactured from August 1, 2008, through March 6, 2016. The labels on the rear emergency exit window are not located within 16 centimeters of the release mechanisms as required. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the label is not located the correct distance from the mechanism, it may hinder an occupant's ability to open the emergency window and escape from the vehicle quickly in the event of an emergency.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Forest River will notify owners, and provide a new label along with instructions for the correct placement of the label on the window. The label and instructions will be provided free of charge. The recall began on June 9, 2016. Owners may contact Glaval Bus customer service at 1-574-642-3112. Forest River's number for this campaign is 35-04112016-0168.

2. 12V011000Received 13 Jan 2012. 1,407 units.

   Equipment / Appliance / Air Conditioner

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Glaval is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2007 transit buses built on ford, GMC, chevrolet, and freightliner chassis and equipped with carrier genv em-1 evaporator units. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and a vehicle fire may occur.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Glaval will notify owners and provide information on how to obtain the retrofit kit from carrier along with repair instructions. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on january 14, 2012. (see carrier's recall campaign 11e-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1-800-348-7440.

3. 10V144000Received 12 Apr 2010. 132 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Glaval bus is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 transit buses manufactured between october 2007 through december 2009, equipped with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts. Due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's "up" function, should the "up" switch be released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel and may overrun the floor level cut off point.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Glaval bus will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. A software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. Until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. The safety recall began on april 26, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or glaval bus at 1-800-322-2884.

   Report filed by GLAVAL BUS DIVISION. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 26 Apr 2010.
