2016–2019 IC Bus Cesb & 2015 IC Bus Casb recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2015-2019 IC Bus CE school buses, equipped with certain S-Series and K-Series Titanium Wheelchair Lifts, models K200, K201, K550, K551, S200, S2201, S550 and S551. The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height.

💥 The risk

If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.

🔧 The fix

Navistar will notify owners, and IC Bus or Ricon dealers will replace the injection molded cam with an aluminum machined cam, free of charge. The recall began October 5, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service 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.)
