What's wrong
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2022-2024 IC Bus CE, 2022-2023 IC CE SBus, IC RE, and 2023 EV school buses. The roof panel may have been manufactured with insufficient joint strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."
Why it matters
A school bus roof panel with insufficient joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will add additional fasteners to secure the joints, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 3, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23501.
