Navistar, Inc. is recalling 30 of its 2025 IC Bus CE school buses because the steering system may fail. The tie rod assemblies in these vehicles contain ball studs that were incorrectly heat-treated during manufacturing, which can cause them to break and lead to a complete loss of steering control. Navistar has already mailed notification letters to affected owners as of July 29, 2024, and dealers will provide a free repair to ensure the vehicles are safe to operate.
If the tie rod ball studs break, the driver will lose the ability to steer the vehicle. This sudden loss of steering control significantly increases the risk of a crash, which is particularly hazardous given these are school buses designed to transport students.
