IC Bus CE Recall 19V374: Dragging Rear Brake May Cause Fire or Stop

NHTSA campaign 19V374, reported May 15, 2019, 4 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2017 IC CE transit buses are equipped with Bendix ADB 22X brake calipers, and the driver-side rear brakes may drag. A dragging brake can damage brake components and turn on the ABS warning light, which may prompt the driver to stop the bus immediately and move passengers. High temperatures at the wheel end can also increase the risk of a fire. Either condition increases the risk of injury.

Navistar will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the left rear caliper with a redesigned adjuster mechanism at no cost to you. Owners can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 and reference recall number 19507. The recall began July 12, 2019. You can also check your vehicle identification number for open recalls.
