2011–2012 IC Bus BE & 2011–2012 IC Bus CE + 1 more recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 ic bus BE and CE and certain model year 2012 RE school buses manufactured from april 8, 2010 through july 1, 2011, equipped with c. E. White seat cushions. The self-latching mechanism used to retain the seat cushion to the frame may not activate. Thus, these seats fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
💥 The risk
If the seat cushion is not securely latched to the seat structure, the seat could become dislodged, increasing the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.
🔧 The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the seats free of charge. Owners may contact navistar at 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.)
