- Navistar is recalling 1,607 my 2007 through 2009 ic besb, cesb, fesb, and resb school buses manufactured from january 4, 2006 through november 15, 2007, equipped with ricon s or k series wheelchair lifts. The anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift which fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "Platform lift systems for motor vehicles."
- The risk
- A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
- The fix

These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "Platform lift systems for motor vehicles." The threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
- The risk
- The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
- The fix
- Navistar is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e095). The recall began on october 1, 2008. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or navistar at 1-260-461-1890.
- The problem

The base plate of the engine oil cooler may crack allowing pressurized oil to leak into the engine compartment.
- The risk
- This condition may cause either engine shut down without warning, or in extreme cases, possible engine fire which can lead to property damage, personal injury, or death.
- The fix
- International will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on november 21, 2008. Owners may contact international at 800-448-7825.
- The problem
- International is recalling 1,027 my 2006-2007 be, ce, fe, and re school and commercial buses manufactured from july 11, 2005 through july 31, 2006, and equipped with braun platform lifts for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "Platform lift installations in motor vehicles." A passenger can approach the exposed lift doorway without the audible alarm alerting them of their proximity to the threshold.
- The risk
- Should the threshold warning system fail to operate, the lift user can fall from the vehicle and be seriously injured.
- The fix
- International is working with braun corporation to have the doorway lift fixed free of charge (please see 06e094). Owners may contact braun corporation at 1-800-946-7513 or international at 1-800-448-7825.
- The problem
- Certain my 2007 and 2008 international school and commercial buses manufactured between january 20 and september 28, 2006, equipped with ricon wheelchair lifts . The lift inner barrier interlock switch system may not detect the presence of a passenger on the inner barrier and allow the platform to move down more than one inch below floor level while occupied which does not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, Platform lift systems for motor vehicles.
- The risk
- The defect involves the interlock switch system in the lift not detecting the presence of a passenger (either wheelchair or standee) on the ricon wheelchair platform lift. In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations it may be possible for the wheelchair to tip backwards onto the platform when the platform was lowered. This could result in injury to the wheelchair's occupant. Also, anyone standing on the platform could lose his or her balance and fall, resulting in injury.
- The fix
- International is working with ricon to repair the buses free of charge (please see 06e101). The recall began on july 20, 2007. Owners can contact ricon at 818-267-3012 or international at 1-800-448-7825.
- The problem
- Certain my 2004-2007 ic ce, re, and fe commercial and school buses manufactured between march 12, 2004, and november 29, 2006. The side emergency door holdback mechanism may not be installed in the proper location. This may cause the mechanism to hold the door in the closed position.
- The risk
- If the door is held in the closed position, it may not perform its intended emergency function, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
- The fix
- Ic will notify owners and repair the affected buses free of charge. The recall began on march 16, 2007. Owners can contact ic at 1-800-843-5615 or international at 1-800-448-7825.
- The problem
- Certain 2007 and 2008 my ic school buses manufactured between january 18, 2006, and january 17, 2007. The air supply fitting may separate from the base plate, preventing actuation air from reaching the stop arm and/or crossing arm. This condition will result in non-deployment of the stop arm and/or crossing arm during a school bus stop to pick-up or discharge passengers.
- The risk
- If the stop arm does not deploy, a child or pedestrian may be endangered by passing motorists failing to stop at a safe location. If the crossing arm does not deploy, a child or pedestrian may enter the driver's blind spot in front of the vehicle possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
- The fix
- Ic will notify owners and repair the affected stop arms. The recall began on march 2, 2007. Owners can contact ic corporation at 1-800-843-5615 or international at 1-800-448-7825.
- The problem
- Certain ic school and commercial buses manufactured between october 11, 2005, and october 31, 2006. These buses have the following safety issues: If the driver's seat is in the highest and most rear position, the back of the seat may lean against a barrier behind the seat, or against the seat back. This will prevent the seat belt from retracting which fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, Seat belt assemblies. When adjust the seat to a higher position, the driver may pull the seat past the last stop so that the seat sits on the adjusting pin, which allows the seat to teeter on top of the pin. If over-travel occurs, the upper seat pedestal tube could separate from the lower pedestal tube during vehicle operation. If the driver is sitting in the driver's seat and reaches to adjust the seat height, their weight will cause the seat to drop, which could result in their hand being pinched between the seat and the lever. The driver's seat is difficult to adjust to a higher position because of the additional weight of the all belts to seat (abts) design.
- The risk
- THIS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
- The fix
- Ic will notify owners and repair the seats free of charge. The recall began on february 23, 2007. Owners may contact ic at 1-800-448-7825.
- The problem
- Certain 2006 and 2007 ic resb (pb305) school buses manufactured between july 1, 2005, and may 9, 2006. A joint at the rear of the bus where the davenport is attached to the floor does not meet the joint strength requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 221, School bus body joint strength.
- The risk
- In the event of a vehicle crash, the body structure of the bus could collapse, possibly resulting in serious injury to the bus occupants.
- The fix
- Ic will notify owners and will add a retaining bar along the front of the davenport free of charge. The recall began on september 15, 2006. Owners may contact ic at 1-800-843-5615 or international at 1-800-448-7825.
