    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 IC BE and CE school buses, 2013-2015 IC AE school buses, 2007-2011 IC FE school buses, and 2007-2014 IC RE school buses equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts by Ricon. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify the purchasers of the lifts, and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Note: These buses and wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recall in 2014. All vehicles that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 IC AE, 2007-2015 IC BE, CE, 2007-2011 IC FE, and 2007-2014 IC RE school buses equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation after January 1, 2006. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Navistar's number for this recall is 14518.

    Seats / Barriers

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 IC Bus CE and 2013 IC Bus RE school buses, manufactured August 20, 2012, through September 4, 2012. The school bus restraining barriers may have an insufficient weld at the base of the barrier frame that does not comply with the requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS), No. 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The barriers may fail to restrain occupants from flying forward during crashes and sudden driving maneuvers, increasing the risk of injury.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected barrier frames. The recall began on October 10, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's recall number is 13513.

    Seats

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 IC Bus AE, and 2011-2014 BE, CE, and RE buses. These buses were manufactured February 11, 2010, through June 17, 2013. The passenger seat foam padding did not adequately reduce the impact forces to the knee in the lower outside corners of the seat back during compliance testing. Thus, these buses fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the event of a crash, the seat padding may not properly protect against knee impact force, increasing the risk of injury.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will install polystyrene blocks in the lower outside corners of each seat to increase the knee protection, free of charge. The recall began on October 10, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's recall campaign number is 13512.

    Electrical System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar is recalling certain model year 2013 IC brand CE buses, and 2012-2013 RE buses; manufactured from December 7, 2010, through June 26, 2012 and equipped with model year 2011 through 2013 I-6 engines and feature codes 12NUK, 12NUL, 12NUM, 12NUN, 12NUP and 12NUS. The injection pressure regulator (IPR) harness wire may break due to vibrational damage. This could cause an unexpected shut down of the engine.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    An unexpected engine shut down while driving may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the IPR wire connector, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin by March 18, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

    Structure / Body / Roof and Pillars

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012 and 2013 ic ce, re, and be school buses manufactured from april 1, 2011, through march 31, 2012, equipped with prolo roof escape hatches. Increased friction between the rear plate assemblies, p/no. 009327, and the nylon rear pop-up support, p/no. 008956, may result in an opening force of the prolo roof hatches that exceeds federal standard requirements. Thus, these hatches fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the event of an emergency, egress of the bus may be hindered possibly resulting in injury to the vehicle occupants.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners. Specialty manufacturing, INC. (smi) will provide service kits along with repair instructions to dealers and owners, free of charge. The safety recall began on august 3, 2012. Owners may contact navistar at 1-260-461-1890 or smi at 1-800-951-7867.

  7. 12V061000Received . 920 units.

    Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Check Valve

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 ic bus ce and re school buses manufactured from december 2, 2010, through january 26, 2012, and equipped with bendix atr-6 antilock traction relay valves. In extremely cold conditions, these bendix relay valves may potentially develop internal leakage. Internal leakage can lead to air pressure being delivered to affected primary or secondary brakes causing continuous brake application.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning to other drivers.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will provide a temporary repair until bendix develops a permanent remedy. The safety recall began on april 40, 2012. This service will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact navistar at 260-461-1890.
