The problem
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 IC Bus CE transit buses manufactured July 1, 2010, to February 4, 2015, and one IC Bus BE transit bus manufactured on November 2, 2010. The affected vehicles have a water shutoff valve, inside, forward of driver heater (feature code 48PPJ or 48PPP) that has a formed heater hose that over time, may fatigue and split resulting in hot engine coolant fluid leaking into the driver's foot area.
The risk
If hot, pressurized coolant suddenly spills into the operator's foot area, there is an increased risk of a burn injury or a crash.
The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the formed heater hose with a more robust one, free of charge. The recall began on January 4, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 16511.
