2016 GLAVAL BUS LEGACY Complaints and Recall Information
The 2016 GLAVAL BUS LEGACY has 0 complaints and 7 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report no complaints, but the recalls involve safety and equipment defects related to emergency exits, brakes, instrument clusters, transmissions, and wheelchair lifts.
There are seven recalls affecting various systems including emergency egress, adaptive mobility equipment, service brakes, automatic transmission interlocks, and instrument clusters.
Recalls- Emergency exit labels. Recall 16V217000 affects 1,860 vehicles due to emergency exit window labels placed more than 16 cm from release mechanisms, failing FMVSS 217 standards. Labels may hinder occupants from escaping quickly. Forest River will provide new labels and installation instructions free of charge.
- Wheelchair lift cam failure. Recall 18V640000 covers 1,525 buses with Ricon S-Series and K-Series Titanium wheelchair lifts that may have a positioning input cam failure. This allows the platform to stop above the floor, risking wheelchair tipping and injury. Ricon dealers will replace the cams at no cost.
- Brake transmission shift interlock. Recall 16V890000 involves 6 buses where the interlock may fail, letting the vehicle shift into drive without pressing the brake pedal. This increases risk of unintended movement or rolling. Owners will have software updated free by Allison Transmission dealers.
- Instrument cluster display error. Recall 16V749000 covers 63 buses with ICU3 instrument clusters that may incorrectly display "PARK" instead of "BRAKE" during a brake malfunction, violating FMVSS 101 and 105. This could prevent driver awareness of brake issues. Clusters will be replaced free of charge by DTNA service facilities.
- Hydraulic brake system malfunction. Also under recall 16V749000 for 63 buses, the brake malfunction indicator may mislead drivers due to the instrument cluster error, increasing crash risk. The fix matches the instrument cluster replacement above.
- Wheelchair lift platform side plate cracks. Recall 16V386000 includes 406 buses with Ricon wheelchair lifts whose platform side plates may crack or have loose bearings. This could cause platform separation and injury risk if it falls on the lift operator. Ricon dealers will inspect and replace damaged parts for free.
Owners facing repeat repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety systems or equipment on these buses may want to review their rights under applicable state lemon laws. Legal consultation can clarify protections available for persistent defects or safety hazards.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2012-2016 Elkhart Coach ECII, Glaval Apollo and Sport buses, 2017-2018 Glaval Commute buses, 2012-2018 Glaval Entourage, Titan and Universal, StarCraft Bus Allstar and Starlite buses, 2013-2018 Glaval Legacy, Primetime and Titan II buses, 2015-2016 Allstar XL MVP buses, 2014-2016 StarCraft Prodigy buses, 2014 StarCraft Quest and Starquest buses, 2017 StarCraft Quest buses and 2016 StarCraft Senator II buses. These vehicles are equipped with certain Ricon S-Series and K-Series Titanium Wheel chair Lifts that have a wheelchair lift positioning input cam that may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height.
Risk: If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.

STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2008-2016 Glaval Bus Apollo, Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy, Primetime, Sport, Titan, Titan II, and Titan II Low Floor transit buses manufactured from August 1, 2008, through March 6, 2016. The labels on the rear emergency exit window are not located within 16 centimeters of the release mechanisms as required. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Risk: If the label is not located the correct distance from the mechanism, it may hinder an occupant's ability to open the emergency window and escape from the vehicle quickly in the event of an emergency.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Glaval Universal, Primetime, Sport, Titan, Titan II, Entourage, Legacy transit buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to April 29, 2016, 2015-2016 Elkhart ECE3, ECE4, ECG4 transit buses manufactured October 24, 2014, to September 9, 2015, and 2006-2016 Starcraft Bus Allstar, Allstar XL, Starlite, Quest, Quest XL, and StarTrans Senator II, Senator II HD, and PS/2 vehicles manufactured January 1, 2006, to April 29, 2016. These vehicles are equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts by Ricon. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack. Additionally, the lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
Risk: If the platform side plates crack or the platform mounting fails from out-of-position bearings, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the vehicle's doors are opened, the platform may fall onto the lift operator, increasing their risk of injury.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 StarTrans P/S2 transit buses manufactured January 19, 2016, to May 2, 2016, and model year 2016-2017 Glaval Legacy transit buses manufactured November 9, 2015, to August 4, 2016, equipped with ICU3 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 the word "PARK" illuminates instead of the word "BRAKE," the driver may be unaware of a braking issue or malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Glaval Legacy transit buses manufactured April 5, 2016, to October 5, 2016. The brake transmission shift interlock feature may be inoperable making it possible to shift into a drive gear without first pressing the brake pedal.
Risk: This condition can result in the vehicle moving unintentionally or rolling away, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
