- The defect
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016 and 2018-2024 IC Bus CE school buses. The brake pressure switch assembly may leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch's electrical components and cause an electrical short-circuit.
- What it can cause
- An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire while driving or parked.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the brake pressure switch assembly and if necessary, the wire harness or fuse, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 29, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23518.

- 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 15,398 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2024, 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 service brakes, hydraulic 4 times before this, most recently in December 2018 as 18V902000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 22 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V168000 (structure), 26V111000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V783000 (equipment), 25V646000 (parking brake).
