What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 AND 2012 IC CE AND RE SCHOOL BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 8, 2009, THROUGH APRIL 14, 2011. THESE BUSES WERE BUILT WITHOUT OR INCORRECTLY INSTALLED FLOOR CHANNEL REINFORCEMENTS. ACCORDINGLY, THE BUSES FAIL TO CONFORM WITH THE SEAT BACK REAR FORCE AND DISPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 222, "SCHOOL BUS PASSENGER SEATING AND CRASH PROTECTION."

The risk

NONCOMPLIANCE TO THE STANDARD INCREASES THE PASSENGER'S RISK OF REARWARD EJECTION FROM THE SEAT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

The remedy

NAVISTAR WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE BUSES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 16, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NAVISTAR AT 1-800-448-7825.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
