What this recall means for you
The illuminated stop sign unit on certain school buses may let contaminants like water and dirt in through a faulty weather seal. This can reduce the sign's brightness or, in some cases, cause an electrical short that makes the sign completely inoperable.
A sign that is dim or not working makes it harder for oncoming drivers to see that the bus is stopping for students, which increases the risk of a crash involving children getting on or off the bus.
Navistar will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the LED illuminated school bus stop signs free of charge. Owners can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls at no cost.
