- The defect
- Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2022-2023 IC EV school buses. The high voltage positive cables that connect the battery packs to the manual service disconnects (MSD) may have been mislabeled.
- What it can cause
- A misidentified electrical cable may be mistaken for a de-energized cable by a technician or first responder, increasing the risk of electrical shock and injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reinstall the battery cables and replace the associated warning labels, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed January 13, 2023. Remedy parts are expected to become available in the 1st Quarter of 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 22523.
- 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 149 vehicles this is a small campaign: 65% 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 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
IC Bus vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 10 times before this, most recently in July 2019 as 19V534000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 23V065000 (structure), 22V909000 (suspension), 22V870000 (suspension), 22V367000 (steering).
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 November 17, 2022 as campaign 22V850000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
