IC Bus Cesb Recall 19V373: Dragging Rear Brake Can Overheat and Cause Fire

What this recall means for you

Certain school buses built from 2016 through 2019 may have a driver-side rear brake that drags, meaning it does not fully release after braking. Over time this can damage the brake components and trigger the ABS warning light, which may prompt the driver to stop the bus and move passengers. The high temperatures at the wheel end can also increase the risk of a fire. Either condition raises the risk of injury.

The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will replace the left rear brake caliper with one that has a redesigned adjuster mechanism. Owners will be notified by mail, or you can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 and reference recall number 19506. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls so you know whether your bus is affected.
