Navistar Recalls IC Bus Models Due to Lift Restraint Belt Defect

Navistar is recalling certain 2009-2011 IC Bus models equipped with Ricon lifts because the restraint belt may not fully latch, allowing the lift to operate with an occupant on the platform.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 IC CE, FE, RE, and BE model non-school buses manufactured between December 10, 2007, and January 12, 2010. These vehicles are fitted with Ricon Public Use Lifts. The recall affects 20 vehicles.

The restraint belt on these lifts is designed to prevent the lift from moving unless the belt tongue is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. However, it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the belt appears to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the belt is not fully engaged and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform, which could result in injury.

Navistar is working with Ricon to perform the remedy for this campaign. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. The safety recall began on July 1, 2010. Owners may contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or Navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
