Defect description

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 IC Bus CE and 2013 IC Bus RE school buses, manufactured August 20, 2012, through September 4, 2012. The school bus restraining barriers may have an insufficient weld at the base of the barrier frame that does not comply with the requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS), No. 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."

Safety risk

The barriers may fail to restrain occupants from flying forward during crashes and sudden driving maneuvers, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected barrier frames. The recall began on October 10, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's recall number is 13513.
