The defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016-2020 IC CE and 2019 IC RE school buses equipped with Bendix ADB 22X brake calipers. The driver side rear brakes may drag.
The risk
A dragging brake may cause damage to the brake components, which may activate the ABS warning light. The warning light may cause the driver to immediately stop the vehicle and transfer occupants. Additionally, the high temperatures at the wheel end can increase the risk of a fire. Either condition increases the risk of injury.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left rear caliper with a redesigned adjuster mechanism, free of charge. The recall began July 12, 2019. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 19506.
