- The defect
- Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024 Elkhart Coach ELKC transit buses. The brake lines may not be attached to the driver's side frame rail. Unsecured brake line may contact the rail, damaging the lines and causing a loss of brake pressure.

- A loss of brake pressure increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will secure and repair the rear brake lines, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 1, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service Phone Number 1-800-348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 05-1741.

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 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% 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 one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 24V253000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
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.
Filed by Forest River Bus, LLC with NHTSA on February 23, 2024 as campaign 24V136000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
