Engine recalls for the 2008 IC Bus CE
Engine complaints
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ic ce300 international school bus. While traveling 10 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. The vehicle was diagnosed by the contact where he observed that the oil line was split, causing hot engine oil to spray onto the engine. The oil lines were replaced by the contact. The current and the failure mileages were 56,690. An additional failure on a sister bus (mileage 47261) on march 28, 2011. I know of another district nearby that has had this problem also.
As you are driving down the highway the mil lamp (engine emissions control malfunction indicator lamp) comes on and the bus will go to idle and you can not accelerate. You must stop shut the engine key off and restart and the light goes off and the bus runs fine until the mil light comes on again. This is intermittent. Some times it doesn't do it at all and some times it will come on one to four times on a 15 mile run. *Tr
