What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 International Ce, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

WE HAVE A FLEET OF 135 SCHOOL BUSES. OUR 2005 - 2014 INTERNATIONAL CE SCHOOL BUSES HAVE A DEFECT IN THE WIRING FOR THE ECM POWER SUPPLY. THE CIRCUIT OVERHEATS, MELTS THE CONNECTORS AND THE BUS SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT START. TWICE THIS WEEK WE VE HAD BUSES SHUT DOWN IN INTERSECTIONS. WE HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON ALMOST ALL OF THE 74 INTERNATIONAL BUSES WE HAVE. ALMOST ALL THE PLASTIC WIRE CONNECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH BUTT CONNECTORS, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE ELECTRICAL SHORT FINDS THE WEAK PINT OF THE SYSTEM. IT WILL BLOW THE FUSE , OR MELT THE RELAY CONNECTOR. THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME OF OPERATION. I BELIEVE THE ECM WIRING IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE THE LOAD.MY CONCERN IS THAT WE ARE CARRYING KIDS. IF THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN IN A INTERSECTION MAY CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. WE HAVE ALREADY HAVE ROAD CALLS TO RESCUE BUSES ON FIELD TRIPS AND SPORTS TRIPS.
