Navistar, Inc.: IC Bus School Buses Recalled for Insufficient Roof Panel Strength

Agency Publication Date: February 10, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling approximately 12,507 school buses, including certain 2022-2024 IC Bus CE, 2022-2023 IC CE SBus, IC RE, and 2023 EV models. These vehicles were manufactured with roof panel joints that may not be strong enough to meet federal safety standards. Navistar dealers will add additional fasteners to secure these roof joints free of charge to ensure the buses provide proper protection.

Risk

The roof panel joints may separate during a vehicle crash because they lack the necessary strength to stay together. If the roof panels separate during an accident, it significantly increases the risk of injury to the students and driver inside the bus.
