Navistar Recalls 2019-2020 IC Buses Due to Roof Hatch Handle Defect

Navistar is recalling 2019-2020 IC RE and IC CE commercial buses because the roof hatch external handle may break, potentially preventing emergency egress.

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 structural defect in an emergency egress component that increases the risk of injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2019-2020 IC RE and IC CE commercial buses equipped with specific feature codes (48PZP, 48PZR, 48RZY, 48SXV, or 48SZG) that include Prolo emergency exit roof hatches. The recall addresses a manufacturing issue where the roof hatch external handle may unexpectedly break under reasonable use.

If the external handle breaks, the hatch cannot be easily opened from outside the vehicle during an emergency, which increases the risk of injury. Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the outer handle free of charge. The recall began on October 7, 2019.

Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. Navistar's number for this recall is 19514.
