What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2016 IC Bus RE school buses manufactured January 25, 2016, to March 31, 2016, equipped with Freedman-brand passenger seats with integrated child seats (ICS). These seats may separate from the base frame due to bolt failure. As, such these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."

The risk

In the event of a crash, the seat can separate from the base frame, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

The remedy

Navistar has already completed the repair work on the affected vehicles, free of charge to owners. Owner notifications will not be sent. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
