Service brakes: fluid

23V397000Jun 2, 20236,786 vehicles affected

Park outside

The problem: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016 International DuraStar, 2018-2020 and 2023-2024 International 1300FBC Stripped chassis, 2019-2022 IC Bus CE Commercial bus, 2019-2024 IC Bus TC Commercial bus, and 2019-2024 International MV vehicles. The brake pressure switch assembly may leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch's electrical components and cause an electrical short-circuit.
The risk: An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire while driving or parked.
The fix: Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the brake pressure switch and if necessary, the wire harness or fuse, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 29, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23517.

Service brakes: ABS warning light

23V370000May 25, 202359,684 vehicles affected

The problem: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2021-2024 International HV, HX, LoneStar, LT, MV, eMV, and RH trucks, and IC Bus CE, 2021-2023 IC Bus RE, and 2022-2023 IC Bus TC Commercial Buses. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) indicator light does not remain illuminated when a malfunction exists, and when the vehicle's ignition switch is on, and the vehicle is in motion. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
The risk: An ABS indicator light that fails to remain illuminated will not alert the driver of an ABS malfunction, which could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Towing variant vehicles under this campaign will not be repaired under recall 24V-8918. Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 24, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23515.

The problem: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2022-2023 IC Bus CE, and 2022-2023 IC RE transit buses. The roof panel may have been manufactured with insufficient joint strength.
The risk: A school bus roof panel with insufficient joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: 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 23502.

Equipment

20V789000Dec 17, 202028 vehicles affected

The problem: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2021-2022 IC Bus CE school buses. The weather seal of the illuminated stop sign unit may allow contaminants to enter into the unit, resulting in reduced performance. In certain cases, an electrical short may occur which would render the unit inoperable.
The risk: If the sign performance is inhibited, or completely inoperable, it can reduce the visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the LED illuminated school bus signs, free of charge. The recall began December 15, 2020. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.
