What's wrong
Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River Bus) is recalling certain 2025 Collins Bus transit buses. The lock on the emergency exit door may fail to unlock. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Why it matters
An emergency exit that remains locked can prevent or delay passengers from evacuating during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
