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

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2022 IC Bus CE school buses. The recall addresses a defect in the weather seal of the illuminated stop sign unit, which may allow contaminants to enter the unit. This contamination can result in reduced performance or an electrical short that renders the unit inoperable.

If the stop sign performance is inhibited or completely inoperable, it can reduce visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall affects 28 vehicles.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the LED illuminated school bus signs free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2020. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
