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: The recall involves a risk of injury to wheelchair occupants from falling, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007, 2009, and 2011 IC Bus CESB school buses equipped with Braun Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The recall addresses a defect where the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned over time and with frequent use.

If the latches are insufficiently secured, a wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the roll stop. If this occurs while the lift platform is in an elevated position, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.

Navistar has reported that all affected buses have been repaired by authorized Braun dealers. Therefore, an owner notification notice is not necessary for this campaign. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-260-461-1890 for further information.
