SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
- The defect
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2021-2024 IC Bus RE, 2022-2024 IC Bus CE, and IC Bus EV school buses. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) indicator light does not remain illuminated when a malfunction exists, and when the vehicle's ignition switch is on, and the vehicle is in motion. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- An ABS indicator light that fails to remain illuminated will not alert the driver of an ABS malfunction, which could increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 24, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23516.
- 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 19,376 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
IC Bus vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 14 times before this, most recently in May 2019 as 19V374000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 23 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V226000 (electrical system), 26V168000 (structure), 26V111000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V783000 (equipment).
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 May 25, 2023 as campaign 23V371000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
