NHTSA recall campaign
17V660000
What was wrong
Defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2015-2018 IC Bus RE school buses. The drop hose fittings for the air brakes may not be oriented correctly, and, as a result, the brake hoses may contact the tire when the wheels are turned to the limit.
Risk
Contact with the tires may damage the service brake air hose, causing the brakes to become inoperative or lengthening the distance needed to stop the bus, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will reposition the drop hose fittings and replace any damaged drop hose or wheel speed sensor harness, free of charge. The recall began on November 21, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-4331. Navistar's number for this recall is 17510.
