- The problem
- Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 IC BE and CE school buses, 2013-2015 IC AE school buses, 2007-2011 IC FE school buses, and 2007-2014 IC RE school 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.
- The risk
- 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.
- The fix
- 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 recall in 2014. All vehicles that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.

- The problem
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 IC AE, 2007-2015 IC BE, CE, 2007-2011 IC FE, and 2007-2014 IC RE school buses equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation after January 1, 2006. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
- The risk
- 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.
- The fix
- 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 recall began on January 29, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Navistar's number for this recall is 14518.
- The problem
- Navistar is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2008 ic be, re, and ce school buses manufactured from december 4, 2001 through december 14, 2009 equipped with international vt365 engines having engine calibration pan2pvr0, pan2pvr1, or pan2pwr. The engine normally responds to a failed open accelerator position sensor circuit fault by returning the engine to low idle speed of 800 rpm and disabling the driver's ability to increase the engine speed. However if the open circuit corrects itself within 30 seconds of initiation, engine speed could suddenly increase to a high idle speed of 1200 rpm.
- The risk
- This increase to high idle speed may occur without warning causing a sudden and unexpected shift in vehicle position possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
- The fix
- Navistar will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on july 1, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825..
- The problem

These vehicles may exhibit engine hard start, no start, or stall conditions due to possibly damaged terminals in the fuse holder connector of the injector drive module (idm) clean battery power circuits. The terminals may have been damaged during electrical continuity testing in the manufacturing process.
- The risk

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Reflections off the a-pillar several weeks ago, as a school bus driver, I experienced a disturbing situation while driving one of the new international re transit school buses. I could not see a shadowed area along the right side of the bus well enough to know if a bicyclist [or pedestrian] might have moved into the area. This occurred around 1:50pm on a sunny day as I was stopped on a side street [halcyon st. Facing west] and waiting/watching for the 'gap' in northbound 1st ave. Traffic to make a right turn. I...

was also tending to some of the unruly elementary students on-board the bus via the inside mirror. After a few minutes, the moment came to start the right turn. My scan and check right into the lower convex mirror [and the lower section of the upper flat mirror] was thwarted by a down-angled white reflected strip on the far side of the right windshield. I tried to reposition myself in the seat to look around it but to no avail. After a few frustrating moments [and missing my gap], I realized I would have to make this turn without full assurance that someone wasn't in the bus shadowed area on my right due to this reflection. Ever since then I have been monitoring when this white reflection occurs and very aware to anticipate and track who might enter and reside in this temporary 'blind spot' despite my attention to the mainstream traffic and students. This occurred the first afternoon I drove the new international bus [b168] on the route. Up to that time, I had been driving the old bluebird bus5 with no problem viewing the right-side shadow area and knowing what was there. This white veiling reflection comes from the sunlight from the front-left side of bus and hits the right-side inner a-pillar [structural post] that is flat and painted white. This white is then reflected onto the front right-side windshield at an angle that cuts across the driver's line of sight to the right side mirrors, with the lower convex mirror being most affected. *Tr
