Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 IC Bus CE school buses equipped with feature code 04091 (dual air brake system) and 04AZS (Antilock Brake System (ABS) with 4 channel Electronic Stability Protection (ESP)). The recall addresses a defect where the air supply line to the SR7 roll stability valve may have been improperly routed to the ATR6 brake control valve steer axle delivery port instead of the control port.

During a stability control oversteer event on slippery road conditions, this improper routing may cause the parking brakes to be modulated unintentionally. This can potentially cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the SR7 roll stability valve supply line to the ATR6 brake control valve control port free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
