Navistar Recalls 2023 IC CE and IN RE Buses for Axle Fastener Issue

Navistar is recalling 2023 IC CE and IN RE commercial buses because incorrectly tightened fasteners may allow the rear axle to shift, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (rear axle shifting) that explicitly increases the risk of a crash and injury, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2023 IC CE and IN RE commercial buses. The fasteners that connect the transverse torque arm to the rear axle housing may have been tightened incorrectly. This defect can allow the rear axle to shift side to side.

A rear axle that moves side to side can cause a loss of handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a loose rear axle may cause vehicle instability during an evacuation in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will replace and tighten the fasteners free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 6, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
