16V838000

Date: 2016-11-18. Systems: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING.

Defect: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 IC Bus CE transit buses manufactured July 1, 2010, to February 4, 2015, and one IC Bus BE transit bus manufactured on November 2, 2010. The affected vehicles have a water shutoff valve, inside, forward of driver heater (feature code 48PPJ or 48PPP) that has a formed heater hose that over time, may fatigue and split resulting in h (excerpt)

Consequence: If hot, pressurized coolant suddenly spills into the operator's foot area, there is an increased risk of a burn injury or a crash. (excerpt)

Remedy: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the formed heater hose with a more robust one, free of charge. The recall began on January 4, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 16511. (excerpt)

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

15V870000

Date: 2015-12-23. Systems: EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY.

Defect: 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. (excerpt)

Consequence: If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator. (excerpt)

Remedy: Navistar will notify the purchasers of the lifts, and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Note: These buses and wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recal (excerpt)

Consequence: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator. (excerpt)

Remedy: Navistar will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The interim notices were mailed on December 29, 2014. The recall began on January 29, 2015.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
