Forest River Bus recalls 2024–2025 Senator II, Glaval Universal, Safetbus and Starcraft Allstar buses over wheelchair lift controls
A part in the wheelchair lift's electrical system may fail, so the controls may not be able to stop the lift, and a lift that keeps moving with someone on it raises the risk of injury.
What to do
Dealers will fix the wiring by installing two diodes, free of charge. Owners may call Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 and refer to recall number 51-2093.
