Navistar Recalls 2015 IC Bus CE School Buses for Fuel Filter Defect

Navistar is recalling 782 model year 2015 IC Bus CE school buses because a fuel filter defect may cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing crash risk.

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 (fuel filter separation) that causes the engine to stall without warning, creating an increased risk of a crash. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (implied by crash risk), warranting a score of 4.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 IC Bus CE school buses manufactured between May 13, 2014, and July 24, 2014. The recall affects 782 vehicles equipped with Cummins ISB or ISL engines that may have Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009).

The defect involves the fuel filter shell potentially separating from the fuel filter nut plate. This separation can cause the engine to stall without warning. If the engine stalls unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective fuel filter with a non-defective one free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583. Cummins' recall number is C1545. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
