2006 IC RE recalls
Recall 10V-265: Vehicle Speed Control
Problem: Navistar is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2008 ic be, re, and ce school buses manufactured from december 4, 2001 through december 14, 2009 equipped with international vt365 engines having engine calibration pan2pvr0, pan2pvr1, or pan2pwr. The engine normally responds to a failed open accelerator position sensor circuit fault by returning the engine to low idle speed of 800 RPM and disabling the driver's ability to increase the engine speed. However if the open circuit corrects itself within 30 seconds of initiation, engine speed could suddenly increase to a high idle speed of 1200 RPM.
Risk: This increase to high idle speed may occur without warning causing a sudden and unexpected shift in vehicle position possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: Navistar will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on july 1, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825..
Recall 09V-018: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: Rivers bus sales is recalling 2 ricon wheelchair lifts which it installed on my 2006 ic ce and re school buses. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
Risk: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
Fix: Rivers bus sales is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (Please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or rivers bus sales at 1-904-783-0313.
Recall 09V-017: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: Rivers bus sales is recalling 2 ricon wheelchair lifts which it installed on my 2006 ic ce and re school buses. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
Risk: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.

Recall 05V-130: Child Seat
Problem: Certain 2004-2006 my ic corporation ce, fe, and re school buses manufactured from may 12, 2003, through march 2, 2005, equipped with child restraint anchorage systems. The diameter latch attachment bars exceed the diameter requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, child restraint anchorage systems, which may make it difficult to use with future car seat attachments. In addition, some of the latch attachments are located too far forward of the seat back.
Risk: Not attaching the child seat properly may result in personal injury or death in the event of a vehicle crash. Also, the inappropriate placement of the brackets may result in personal injury to a passenger not seated in a car seat.
Fix: Ic corporation will notify its customers and (1) the brackets will be removed and replaced by a special belt system and (2) the seat frame will be replaced by a frame with a new seat attachment bracket. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on august 19, 2005. Owners may contact international at 260-461-1924.
Recall 05V-131: Power Train
Problem: Certain 2003, 2005, and 2006 my ic corporation re school and commercial buses manufactured between january 29, 2003, and march 9, 2005. There can be metal to metal interference at the driveline u-joint. This interference can loosen the axle strap or cause the strap or strap bolts to break because of fatigue stresses, causing the driveshaft to separate from the axle yoke.
Risk: If the driveshaft separates from the vehicle, it could come in contact with other vehicles on or near the roadway, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: Ic corporation will notify its customers and will repair the vehicle free of charge. The recall began on august 5, 2005. Owners may contact international at 260-461-1924.
