2017 Startrans PS2 recalls
Recall 16V-860: Electrical System
Problem: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 StarTrans PS2 transit buses manufactured April 26, 2016, to October 11, 2016, built on a Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) chassis and equipped with ICU3s instrument clusters and hydraulic brakes. In the event of a brake malfunction, these clusters may illuminate the Brake System Malfunction telltale/indicator lamp with the word "PARK" instead of the word "BRAKE". As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays," and number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."
Risk: If "PARK" illuminates instead of the word "BRAKE," the driver will be unaware of a braking issue or malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Forest River will notify owners, and DTNA will replace the ICU3s instrument clusters with new clusters, free of charge, when new clusters are available. Owners are to be notified of this issue beginning on January 18, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3112 and DTNA customer service at 1-800-385-4357. Forest River's number for this recall is 5-11212016-0274.
