  • Brand IC BUS

What happened

Navistar is recalling certain IC model year 2010 FE and RE school buses manufactured between June 1 and August 19, 2009. The wires in the headlight electrical harness may have been installed in the incorrect connector cavities, which reduces the low beam headlight intensity and causes the vehicles to fail to meet federal safety standards for headlamps.

The decreased headlight intensity increases the risk of a crash. Navistar will notify owners and dealers will inspect the headlight electrical harness connector wiring and repair it if necessary at no charge. The recall began on March 12, 2010. Affected owners should contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
