2020 Ic Bus Cesb

1. Component: Bus 15 - Right front outrigger. Yes it is available for inspection 2. Safety: Outrigger cracked creating insufficient support of the school bus body 3. We were told it was not covered under warranty and no recalls have been generated and therefore paid for the first repair through Wolfington Body Co. Inc. Their repair did not hold and it came apart and on 8/7/2024 it was repaired a second time, no charge. It came apart again and on 1/30/2025 it was repaired a third time, no charge. 4. The dealer has inspected the bus, we are not aware of the manufacturer or anyone else having inspected the bus. The dealer did say they were going to present this to the manufacturer but we have never heard anything more about it. 5. We first noticed the crack when we inspected it on 4/4/2024 because we heard and felt an unusual noise/motion when driving on the roads in our town. PLEASE NOTE: Since then we have had a total of 4 out of our 5 International Gas Buses with the identical problem. Those Buses are: Bus 3 The crack was noticed on 10/24/2024 mileage 37,052 cost to repair $3,010.18. This repair came apart again on 10/24/2025 and was repaired on 2/13/26 no charge. Bus 1 The crack was noticed on 11/19/2024 mileage 46,718 the Dealer repaired at no cost due to negotiating a compromise. Bus 12 The crack was noticed on 5/23/2025 mileage 40,310 cost to repair $3,005.58. I have been told by the Dealer's Service Team through an email dated 8/4/2025 that they would be submitting these to the Manufacturers "goodwill process in hopes of having the previous and current repairs reimbursed" To date, we have heard nothing. We strongly feel this is a manufacturer design defect and it must be happening to other IC School Buses as well.

This article only applies to Models w/ 0016UZL Built Between 06/23/2014 – 05/11/2020 OR Models w/ 0016UZL w/ Safety Recall 14516 Completed Reference the appropriate Technician Manual for models outside of this population. Safety Recall 14516 has been issued for units built before June 23, 2014. For LT and 2018+ LoneStar: If there is a complaint of the bunk blower turning off after an auto start event, the BCM needs to be updated to Data Version 323 or higher. • The bunk blower turning off was only present in BCM Data Version 309 to Data Version 322 To properly diagnose the system, you must ensure the recall has been performed. Only the "Cold Loop" sealed refrigerant core PN # 2614669C1 is to be replaced when the refrigerant circuit fails. DO NOT REPLACE THE COMPLETE UNIT IF THE A/C IS NOT FUNCTIONING. Complete unit is not Warrantable Refer to the BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING below before replacing any components. This will help you identify which component is at fault or any electrical issues. Refer to PARTS INFORMATION to properly identify the parts that may require replacement The A/C portion of the system is listed below in the parts section. The 16UZL No-Idle HVAC system is designed to disengage when the engine is started, and can be turned on with the key in any position. This battery-powered no-idle HVAC system provides heating and cooling of the sleeper area without use of the vehicle engine. The system is comprised of the no-idle HVAC components located in the sleeper HVAC module, a separate fuel-operated coolant heater mounted under the sleeper, and four additional batteries housed in a second battery box. The no-idle HVAC system shares the air handling assembly and several major components with the truck's standard HVAC system. Most importantly, the shared evaporator core contains refrigerant circuits for both the no idle system and the truck's standard A/C system. With this configuration, some procedures required to service the no idle A/C system will require opening the refrigerant circuit of the truck's standard A/C system. Trucks equipped with the 16UZL No-Idle HVAC system have two separate HVAC systems (Standard Truck A/C and the MaxxPower unit); it is important to identify each clearly, so you are troubleshooting the correct system. Per the Operator's Manual page 10: Run the heater at least once a month during the year (for a minimum of 15 minutes).

The purpose of this article is to provide updated repair guidelines for the engine oil pan leak on all 8.8L gasoline and LPG engines. Engine oil can leak from the rear of the engine oil pan due to an excessive gap in the sealing area between the engine oil pan and the engine block.

This document is for Diesel buses MY2020, MY2021, MY2022, MY2023, and MY2024 specifically built between 11/30/20 and 5/18/23 that are experiencing fuel leaks at the fuel tank cap for not being seated fully, and for MY2024 and MY2025 buses built between 1/2/24 and 9/19/25 for fuel necks being loose.

This tool is designed to compare Diamond Logic feature data across multiple vehicle configuration files. It allows users to quickly load files either manually or directly from the Diamond Logic Builder Vehicles folder using VIN-based selection. As files are added or removed, the comparison runs automatically with no manual action required. The program presents results in an interactive table that shows feature codes, descriptions, access levels, and whether each feature is present in each selected file. Built-in search, filtering, and sorting make it easy to locate specific features or focus only on differences between files. Column visibility can be customized to show or hide descriptions and access information as needed. Users can remove files individually or clear all files at once, with results updating instantly. The tool also includes reporting and export options that reflect exactly what is visible on screen, allowing results to be printed, copied, saved as text, or exported to CSV for use in Excel or other spreadsheet tools. Overall, the program streamlines the process of comparing vehicle feature configurations, helping users quickly identify differences, validate setups, and document results without manual comparison or external tools.

This document provides guidance for assessing the feasibility of implementing a customer-requested change to an engine or vehicle parameter/feature. Customer requested changes will be approved in accordance with the requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 1037 to ensure continued compliance with greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations.
