The problem
Navistar is recalling certain ic model year 2010 fe and re transit buses manufactured from june 1 through august 19, 2009. The wires in the headlight electrical harness may have been installed in the incorrect connector cavities resulting in degraded low beam headlight intensity. The vehicle's low beam headlights do not meet the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
The risk
The low beam headlight's intensity is decreased increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Navistar will notify owners and dealers inspect the headlight electrical harness connector wiring and repair if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on march 5, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
