Navistar Recalls 2007-2010 IC 3200IM Buses for Parking Brake Fire Risk

Navistar is recalling 2007-2010 IC 3200IM commercial buses because a loss of air pressure may cause the parking brake to apply unexpectedly, potentially leading to a driveline fire.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (parking brake) that may result in a driveline fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant property-damage reports or structural defects.
