Defect Description

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 IC CE school buses manufactured from November 24, 2014, through January 22, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the hood straps used to latch the hood closed may become elongated and not return to their original length. As a result, the hood may open unexpectedly when the bus is braking.

Safety Consequence

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hood straps, free of charge. The recall began on April 18, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 16502.
