What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a missing warning label indicating that the collision mitigation system is inoperative on school buses. No injuries or illnesses have been reported. The hazard is theoretical—risk of a crash if drivers do not realize the safety system is not functioning. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported receive a score of 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2022-2023 IC BUS school buses (RESB and CESB models) that were built without a forward radar unit. The warning label that notifies drivers that the collision mitigation system is inoperative may be missing.

Without this warning label, drivers may not realize that the collision mitigation system is not functioning. Failure to warn drivers about the inoperative system increases the risk of a crash.

Approximately 337 school buses are affected by this recall. Vehicle owners received notification letters on June 14, 2022.

Navistar will provide the warning label and installation instructions at no charge to affected owners. For more information, owners can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 (recall number 22509) or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
