    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Seat Belts

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017 IC Bus CE and 2016-2017 IC Bus RE school buses, equipped with certain IMMI school bus seat assemblies equipped with 3-point lap and shoulder belts. Under load, the seat belt buckle mount rod can fracture. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 IC Bus AE and BE, 2015-2017 CE and 2016-2017 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.

    Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 IC RE school buses manufactured November 4, 2014, to December 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the air brake hose for the front wheel service brakes may contact the tires when the steering is fully turned.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
