Navistar Recalls 2017 IC CE Transit Buses for Brake Drag

Navistar is recalling 2017 IC CE transit buses because the driver-side rear brakes may drag, posing a fire and injury risk.

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 (brake drag) that explicitly increases the risk of fire and injury, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 IC CE transit buses equipped with Bendix ADB 22X brake calipers. The recall involves the IC CESB and CE models.

The driver-side rear brakes on these vehicles may drag. This condition can cause damage to brake components and activate the ABS warning light, which may lead drivers to stop the vehicle and transfer occupants. Additionally, high temperatures at the wheel end can increase the risk of a fire. Both conditions increase the risk of injury.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left rear caliper with a redesigned adjuster mechanism free of charge. The recall began on July 12, 2019. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
