What's wrong?
The instrument cluster is the dashboard display that shows warning lamps and driver messages. On the 2016-2017 Glaval Bus Legacy and PS2 transit buses in this recall, the cluster is tied to the hydraulic brake system, so it has to give the driver the correct brake warning when the system detects a brake problem.
The defect is in the ICU3 instrument cluster display. If a brake malfunction is detected, the cluster can light the Brake System Malfunction indicator with the word PARK instead of BRAKE. PARK points the driver toward the parking brake, while BRAKE is the warning tied to the service brake system. That wrong word can delay recognition of a hydraulic brake problem.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue appears when the brake warning lamp is needed, so a driver sees the wrong label at the moment the dashboard is supposed to identify the brake system problem clearly.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific bus.
What's the safety risk?
If the dash shows "PARK" instead of "BRAKE," the driver does not get the correct brake warning. That warning label error can leave a brake problem or malfunction unnoticed and increase the risk of a crash. Schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Glaval Bus dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2017 Glaval Bus Legacy or PS2 is included in this recall.
- Contact Glaval Bus customer service or a DTNA authorized service facility to schedule the free repair.
- Schedule the ICU3 instrument-cluster replacement that corrects the PARK display when BRAKE should illuminate.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 16V749 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, leave extra following distance, and treat any brake warning display as a service issue.
What happens at the repair
At the service facility, a Glaval Bus technician replaces the ICU3 dash instrument cluster with a new cluster that displays "BRAKE" when the parking brake is applied or when the brake system has a malfunction. The replacement is free under recall 16V749, and DTNA authorized service facilities perform the work for covered buses. Ask the service desk to confirm the cluster replacement is tied to Forest River recall 51-10022016-0252 before the repair order is opened.
