2019 Startrans PS2 recalls 2

Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do

Seat belts: retractor

19V542000951 vehicles affected

The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Glaval Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy, Primetime, Universal, Commute, Startrans Candidate II, P/S2, Senator II, Senator II HD, Senator II MPV, and MFSAB buses. The driver's upper seat belt restraint and bottom retractor anchor bolts may not have been fully tightened during manufacturing, and, as a result, the bolts may loosen.
The risk
If the bolts loosen, the seat belt assembly may fail to restrain the occupant in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the tightness of the affected bolts, free of charge. The recall began August 27, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-1061.
