CHILD SEAT:VEHICLE LATCH ANCHOR
- The defect
- Forest River Bus, LLC (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Collins MFSAB, Collins CL9, 2025 Magellan and 2026 Mid Bus school buses. The incorrect child seat latch bar was installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
- What it can cause
- The incorrect latch bar may make it difficult or impossible to correctly install a child seat, increasing the risk of injury.

- Dealers will replace the latch bar, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 18, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at (620) 888-3310. Forest River's number for this recall is 551-1851.

- 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 nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

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 October 18, 2024 as campaign 24V776000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
