Does the 2015 Ic Bus Resb have recalls?

3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.

17V660000BrakesOctober 18, 2017 · 778 units

Defect

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2015-2018 IC Bus RE school buses. The drop hose fittings for the air brakes may not be oriented correctly, and, as a result, the brake hoses may contact the tire when the wheels are turned to the limit.

Consequence

Contact with the tires may damage the service brake air hose, causing the brakes to become inoperative or lengthening the distance needed to stop the bus, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will reposition the drop hose fittings and replace any damaged drop hose or wheel speed sensor harness, free of charge. The recall began on November 21, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-4331. Navistar's number for this recall is 17510.

15V166000BrakesMarch 23, 2015 · 68 units

Defect

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 IC CE school buses manufactured August 8, 2014, to February 20, 2015, and 2015-2016 IC RE school buses manufactured July 31, 2014, to January 9, 2015, equipped with Haldex air brake actuators. The affected brake actuators may have been manufactured with an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism. This could cause dragging or overheated brakes.

Consequence

If the brakes drag and overheat there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Haldex Life Seal Brake chambers, free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15505. Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V-808.

15V167000BrakesMarch 23, 2015 · 17 units

Defect

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 IC RE school buses manufactured November 4, 2014, to December 23, 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.

Consequence

Contact with the tire may result in hose abrasion, resulting in an air leak, causing the vehicle to pull to one side when braking and/or requiring extra distance to stop the school bus. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

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. The recall began on April 13, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15507.
