2007–2009 IC Bus Besb & 2007–2009 IC Bus Cesb + 2 more recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

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

Navistar is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts (please see 07E097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or navistar at 1-260-461-1890.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
