The defect
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 IC 3200IM commercial buses, manufactured from April 11, 2006, through December 11, 2009. If the parking brake system experiences a loss of air pressure, the parking brake may inadvertantly apply itself, either partially or fully.
The risk
Inadvertent partial or total parking brake application may result in a driveline fire.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will install a parking brake system pressure-loss warning system, free of change. The safety recall began on November 30, 2012. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590.

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.
