EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River Bus) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Starcraft Allstar XL, 2022-2023 Allstar XLT, and 2022 Glaval Concorde II transit buses. The exterior-mounted air conditioning compressor may contact the optional stabilizer/sway bar, possibly causing mount failure and resulting in a loss of power or steering control.
- What it can cause
- A loss of power and/or steering control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the vehicles for the optional sway bar. If equipped, a new compressor mount will be installed. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 16, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Bus Customer Service at 1-800-348-7440. Forest River Bus number for this recall is 05-1695.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 31 vehicles this is a small campaign: 83% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Glaval Bus vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 5 times before this, most recently in July 2013 as 13V309000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V029000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
