Ic Bus recall: Service brakes, air
What is wrong
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 IC RE non-school Transit Buses manufactured November 4, 2014, to November 18, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the air brake hose for the front wheel service brakes may contact the tires when the steering is fully turned.
What could happen
Contact with the tire may result in hose abrasion, resulting in an air leak, causing the vehicle to pull to one side when braking and/or requiring extra distance to stop the bus. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the front air brake hose fitting orientation, replacing any hose with signs of abrasion, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 13, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15508.
