Recall 10V-217: 2011 IC Bus CE, 2011 IC Bus Recb
NAVISTAR, INC recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on May 21, 2010, covering about 129 vehicles.
The problem
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011 ic ce and re model school buses manufactured from february 22 through march 16, 2010 equipped with passenger flip seats. The weld that retains a reinforcement rod inside the seat back frame tube may fail allowing the rod to fall out of the frame. The seats fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
The risk
Without the reinforcement rod, the strength of the seat may be compromised, increasing the risk of personal injury or death in the event of a crash.
The fix
Navistar will notify owners and dealers will repair the seats free of charge. The safety recall began on july 16, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825 .
