Recalls
1 recall names the 2018 Starcraft Bus Xlt. Newest first.
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Glaval Bus Concorde II and Starcraft Bus XLT transit buses. The gear shift cable clip may not be properly seated, allowing the transmission to be in a different gear than indicated by the gear shift lever position.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the gear shift cable clip becomes unseated or dislodged, the gear shift lever position may indicate that the transmission is in 'Park' when it may be in a different gear. Additionally, despite selecting 'Park', if the parking brake is not applied before the vehicle is exited, the vehicle may roll. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Forest River has notified owners, and Ford dealers will inspect the shift cable locking clip and properly seat it, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Glaval customer service at 1-800-445-2825, Starcraft customer service at 1-800-348-7440, or Ford customer service at 1-866-906-9811. Forest River's number for this recall is 3505-0713.

- 10206046Damage to the tires valve stem may lead to loss of air pressure, which, if unnoticed, could lead to a flat tire or on dual-wheels an overloaded tire. In extreme situations, rapid loss of tire pressure could increase the risk of a crash. Operators may identify an audible rattling noise from the stem extension rubbing against the wheel opening while driving.

- 10186935Fuel module options FS90301 and FS90453 contain an electric fuel heater. Internal electrical heating within the fuel heater may create sufficient heat inside the fuel heater to cause plastic in the fuel heater to melt and potentially catch fire. It may also cause an engine stall. A fire, if undetected and uncontained, presents an increased risk of personal injury. An unexpected engine stall may increase the risk of a crash. If this condition exists, melting of the fuel heater or fuel seepage from around the fuel heater may be visible during a service event, smoke may precede or accompany a fire, or the engine may become increasingly difficult to start.
