Navistar Recalls IC Transit Buses Due to Engine Oil Line Leak Risk
Navistar is recalling 1,168 IC transit buses from model years 2006-2010 because a high-pressure engine oil line may leak or rupture, potentially causing an engine compartment fire.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (engine oil line rupture) that may result in an engine compartment fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant injury or property-damage reports.
