FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL: PRE-HEATER
- The defect
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017-2021 IC CE School Buses equipped with Cummins B6.7 diesel engines with fuel module option number FS90301 or FS90453. The electric fuel heater within the fuel module may overheat and cause plastic in the fuel heater to melt and potentially catch fire. It may also lead to engine stalling.
- What it can cause
- A fire increases the risk of injury. An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Cummins will notify the affected Navistar customers and dealers will disable the fuel heater by either installing a plug in place of the heater or otherwise rendering the fuel heater non-operable and remove the fuse supplying electrical power to the fuel heater and install a cover over the wire harness connector, free of charge. The recall began May 28, 2020. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 23,299 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
IC Bus vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 4 times before this, most recently in March 2019 as 19V217000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V580000 (structure), 25V503000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 23V398000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 23V397000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Navistar, Inc. with NHTSA on April 17, 2020 as campaign 20V220000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
