23V065000

Date: 2023-02-10. Systems: STRUCTURE.

Defect: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2022-2024 IC Bus CE, 2022-2023 IC CE SBus, IC RE, and 2023 EV school buses. The roof panel may have been manufactured with insufficient joint strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."

Consequence: A school bus roof panel with insufficient joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: Dealers will add additional fasteners to secure the joints, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 3, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23501.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

22V909000

Date: 2022-12-08. Systems: SUSPENSION.

Defect: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2023 IC RE, IC EV, and 2023-2024 IC CE school buses. The fasteners that connect the transverse torque arm to the rear axle housing may have been tightened incorrectly, which can allow the rear axle to shift side to side.

Consequence: A rear axle that moves side to side can cause a loss of handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, a loose rear axle may cause vehicle instability during an evacuation in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: Dealers will replace and tighten the fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 6, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 22527.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

22V870000

Date: 2022-11-23. Systems: STEERING, SUSPENSION.

Defect: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2023 IC CE, EV, and RE vehicles. The hex flange lock nuts, used in the suspension and steering joints, were improperly heat treated and may lose tension over time.

Consequence: A loss of tension in the steering and suspension joints may lead to steering instability and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the hex flange lock nuts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 20, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 22525.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

22V850000

Date: 2022-11-17. Systems: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Defect: Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2022-2023 IC EV school buses. The high voltage positive cables that connect the battery packs to the manual service disconnects (MSD) may have been mislabeled.

Consequence: A misidentified electrical cable may be mistaken for a de-energized cable by a technician or first responder, increasing the risk of electrical shock and injury.

Remedy: Dealers will reinstall the battery cables and replace the associated warning labels, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed January 13, 2023. Remedy parts are expected to become available in the 1st Quarter of 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 22523.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

22V367000

Date: 2022-05-23. Systems: STEERING.

Defect: Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2022-2023 IC CE, IC RE, and 2023 IC EV school buses. The steering wheel retaining nut may have been tightened incorrectly, which can allow the steering wheel to loosen and detach from the steering column shaft.

Consequence: A loose or detached steering wheel increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Dealers will remove the steering wheel nut, apply thread locker, and reinstall the nut, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 25, 2022. Owners may contact Navistar, Inc. customer service at (331) 332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall is 22511.

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.
  • NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
