2011 IC Bus CE & 2011 IC Bus Recb recall: seats

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011 ic CE and re model school buses manufactured from february 22 through march 16, 2010 equipped with passenger flip seats. The weld that retains a reinforcement rod inside the seat back frame tube may fail allowing the rod to fall out of the frame. The seats fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."

💥 The risk

Without the reinforcement rod, the strength of the seat may be compromised, increasing the risk of personal injury or death in the event of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Navistar will notify owners and dealers will repair the seats free of charge. The safety recall began on july 16, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825 .

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.)
