What's wrong?
The rear hazard lights on 2009-2011 Glaval Bus Entourage buses are the flashing warning lamps at the back of the bus. They are supposed to blink when the hazard switch is on, so traffic approaching from behind sees that the bus is stopped, moving slowly, or dealing with a roadside problem.
On affected Entourage buses, the rear hazard lights do not operate properly. That means the bus does not meet the lighting standard for hazard flashing warning lights, and drivers behind the bus get less warning from the rear lamps when the hazard system is needed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The practical check is simple: turn on the hazard lights while the bus is parked safely, then confirm from behind that both rear hazard lamps flash as expected.
Who's affected?
Spans 3 Entourage model years, all tied to the same hazard flashing warning light component.

| Units affected | 94 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the key is in the ignition, the rear hazard lights will not work, which makes a disabled bus harder for other drivers to see and increases crash risk. If the bus becomes disabled, move occupants to a safe location and call for help. Repair will be free at any franchised Glaval Bus dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2011 Glaval Bus Entourage is included in this recall.
- Contact Glaval Bus at 1-574-262-2212 for current repair instructions before putting an incapacitated bus back in service.
- Ask whether the rear hazard-light repair is complete; the defect leaves the rear hazard lights off when the key is in the ignition.
- Reference recall number 10V608 when you call, and bring any recall notice or service records to the repair appointment.
- Use safe roadside procedures if the bus is disabled until Glaval Bus confirms the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At Glaval Bus service, a Glaval Bus technician checks the rear hazard lights and repairs the affected lighting equipment so the hazard lamps operate properly. The source filing says Glaval Bus began owner notification on December 20, 2010, and the bus repair is free under the recall. Because the remedy text does not name a specific replacement part, ask the service desk to confirm the campaign repair steps and parts handling before bringing in a 2009-2011 Entourage bus.
