The problem
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 IC RE non-school Transit Buses manufactured November 4, 2014, to November 18, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the air brake hose for the front wheel service brakes may contact the tires when the steering is fully turned.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the front air brake hose fitting orientation, replacing any hose with signs of abrasion, as necessary, free of charge.
