Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2024 IC EV school buses. The high-voltage positive cables that connect the battery packs to the manual service disconnects may have been mislabeled.

Dealers will inspect the high-voltage cables and add white high-voltage tape as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 5, 2024. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
