2020–2021 IC Bus CE recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2020-2021 IC CE transit buses. The engine control module (ECM) may set a fault code that results in an unexpected engine shut down.
💥 The risk
Unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled school bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will update the engine control unit software, free of charge. Owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed January 18, 2022. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 21508.
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.)
