2011 IC BUS CE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011 IC CE transit buses manufactured between February 22 and March 16, 2010 that are equipped with passenger flip seats. The weld that holds a reinforcement rod inside the seat back frame tube may fail, causing the rod to fall out. Without this reinforcement rod, the seat strength may be compromised, increasing the risk of personal injury or death in a crash. The seats do not meet federal safety standards for school bus passenger seating and crash protection.
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the affected seats free of charge. The recall began on July 16, 2010. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 to arrange for the free repair.
