Engine and engine cooling: cooling system: hoses/lines/piping/fittings
- What is wrong
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 IC Bus CE transit buses manufactured July 1, 2010, to February 4, 2015, and one IC Bus BE transit bus manufactured on November 2, 2010. The affected vehicles have a water shutoff valve, inside, forward of driver heater (feature code 48PPJ or 48PPP) that has a formed heater hose that over time, may fatigue and split resulting in hot engine coolant fluid leaking into the driver's foot area.
- Risk
- If hot, pressurized coolant suddenly spills into the operator's foot area, there is an increased risk of a burn injury or a crash.
- Remedy
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the formed heater hose with a more robust one, free of charge. The recall began on January 4, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1‑800‑448‑7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 16511.

Equipment adaptive/mobility
- What is wrong
- Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 IC CE transit buses, 2008-2011 IC FE transit buses and 2009-2013 IC RE transit 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.
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.
