Defect description

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2016 IC CE commercial buses manufactured from November 24, 2014, to January 20, 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 risk

If the hood opens while braking, the driver's vision may be obstructed, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer 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 16503.
