STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT
- The defect
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2014 IC Bus CE, 2019 IC Bus CE, and 2022 IC Bus CE school buses. These buses are not equipped with enough emergency exits. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
- What it can cause
- A lack of emergency exits can delay passengers from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install two additional emergency exit windows, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 6, 2021. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 21506.
- 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.nhtsa.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 33 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2014 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
IC Bus vehicles have been recalled over the structure 15 times before this, most recently in August 2019 as 19V581000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V580000 (structure), 25V503000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 23V398000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 23V371000 (service brakes, air).
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 June 15, 2021 as campaign 21V450000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
