2007–2009 IC 3200IM recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 IC 3200IM commercial buses, manufactured from April 11, 2006, through December 11, 2009. If the parking brake system experiences a loss of air pressure, the parking brake may inadvertantly apply itself, either partially or fully.

💥 The risk

Inadvertent partial or total parking brake application may result in a driveline fire.

🔧 The fix

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will install a parking brake system pressure-loss warning system, free of change. The safety recall began on November 30, 2012. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590.

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.)
