Recalls
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2011 IC Bus BE, CE, and RE school buses equipped with certain non-retractable passenger two-point seat belts. After long term buckling and unbuckling of the seat belt, the plastic fingers on the male portion of the buckle may crack and fall off, requiring excessive force to buckle the seat belt.
Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 IC CE transit buses, 2008-2011 IC FE transit buses and 2009-2013 IC RE transit 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. 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.
NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 AND 2012 IC CE AND RE SCHOOL BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 8, 2009, THROUGH APRIL 14, 2011. THESE BUSES WERE BUILT WITHOUT OR INCORRECTLY INSTALLED FLOOR CHANNEL REINFORCEMENTS. ACCORDINGLY, THE BUSES FAIL TO CONFORM WITH THE SEAT BACK REAR FORCE AND DISPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 222, "SCHOOL BUS PASSENGER SEATING AND CRASH PROTECTION."
NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 AND 2012 IC RE COMMERCIAL BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 24, 2010, THROUGH JUNE 8, 2011. THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE MAY RUB ON THE HYDRAULIC COOLER RESERVOIR MOUNTING BRACKET POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT.
NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 AND 2012 IC RE SCHOOL BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 4, 2010, THROUGH JUNE 16, 2011. THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE MAY RUB ON THE HYDRAULIC COOLER RESERVOIR MOUNTING BRACKET POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT.
NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 THROUGH 2011 IC CE, FE, RE, AND BE MODEL NON SCHOOL BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM DECEMBER 10, 2007 THROUGH JANUARY 12, 2010 AND FITTED WITH RICON PUBLIC USE LIFTS. THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE. RICON HAS DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO INSERT THE BELT TONGUE INTO THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FULLY ENGAGING THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT. IF THE RESTRAINT BELT TONGUE IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE RESTRAINT BELT BUCKLE, AND LATCHED, THE LIFT MAY OPERATE WITH AN OCCUPANT ON THE PLATFORM.
Whether a recall was fixed on a particular car is known only to the manufacturer: check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
