Navistar Recalls 2020 IC CE School Buses Due to Electrical Overload

Navistar is recalling 2020 IC CE school buses because an electrical overload in the Body Control Module may cause the engine to start unexpectedly, increasing injury risk during service.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (unexpected engine start) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2020 IC CE school buses equipped with PSI gasoline or propane engines and C7 Body Control Modules (BCM). The recall involves 16 vehicles.

An electrical overload condition in the BCM from the starter solenoid may occur and cause damage to the starter circuit of the BCM. This damage may result in an unintended command to crank the engine when the ignition key is in the run position and the transmission is in the park or neutral position. If the engine starts unexpectedly while the vehicle is being serviced, there is an increased risk of personal injury.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will install an overlay harness and relay to provide electrical power to the starter circuit, instead of using the BCM to provide power. This repair will be performed free of charge. The recall began September 12, 2019. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
