2013 IC Bus Casb & 2012 IC Bus CE + 2 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 ic bus CE and RE school buses manufactured from december 2, 2010, through january 26, 2012, and equipped with bendix ATR-6 antilock traction relay valves. In extremely cold conditions, these bendix relay valves may potentially develop internal leakage. Internal leakage CAN lead to air pressure being delivered to affected primary or secondary brakes causing continuous brake application.

πŸ’₯ The risk

Unexpected continuous brake application CAN cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning to other drivers.

πŸ”§ The fix

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will provide a temporary repair until bendix develops a permanent remedy. The safety recall began on april 40, 2012. This service will be performed 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.)
