2012 IC Bus Iccb & 2012 International Durastar recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012 international Durastar and ic bus hc heavy trucks and buses manufactured from february 10, 2011, through february 18, 2011,that were equipped with a meritor MFS08 series non-drive front steer axle. During the assembly process, the steering attachment bolts may have been insufficiently torqued.
💥 The risk
Insufficient torque of the steering arm bolts may result in bolt fatigue and fracture and/or arm separation, thereby potentially resulting in loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on february 10, 2012. 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.)
