For the 2008 IC Bus Cesb. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your IC Bus been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A IC Bus dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

June 1, 2007NHTSA 07V224000727 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary
Certain my 2007 and 2008 international school and commercial buses manufactured between January 20 and September 28, 2006, equipped with ricon wheelchair lifts. The lift inner barrier interlock switch system may not detect the presence of a passenger on the inner barrier and allow the platform to move down more than one inch below floor level while occupied which does not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, platform lift systems for motor vehicles.
Consequence
The defect involves the interlock switch system in the lift not detecting the presence of a passenger (either wheelchair or standee) on the ricon wheelchair platform lift. In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations it may be possible for the wheelchair to tip backwards onto the platform when the platform was lowered. This could result in injury to the wheelchair's occupant. Also, anyone standing on the platform could lose his or her balance and fall, resulting in injury.
Remedy
International is working with ricon to repair the buses free of charge (please see 06E101). The recall began on July 20, 2007. Owners can contact ricon at 818-267-3012 or international at 1-800-448-7825.

Other › School bus stop arm assembly

Summary
Certain 2007 and 2008 my ic school buses manufactured between January 18, 2006, and January 17, 2007. The air supply fitting may separate from the base plate, preventing actuation air from reaching the stop arm and/or crossing arm. This condition will result in non-deployment of the stop arm and/or crossing arm during a school bus stop to pick-up or discharge passengers.
Consequence
If the stop arm does not deploy, a child or pedestrian may be endangered by passing motorists failing to stop at a safe location. If the crossing arm does not deploy, a child or pedestrian may enter the driver's blind spot in front of the vehicle possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
Remedy
Ic will notify owners and repair the affected stop arms. The recall began on March 2, 2007. Owners can contact ic corporation at 1-800-843-5615 or international at 1-800-448-7825.

Seats

Summary
Certain ic school and commercial buses manufactured between October 11, 2005, and October 31, 2006. These buses have the following safety issues: if the driver's seat is in the highest and most rear position, the back of the seat may lean against a barrier behind the seat, or against the seat back. This will prevent the seat belt from retracting which fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, seat belt assemblies. When adjust the seat to a higher position, the driver may pull the seat past the last stop so that the seat sits on the adjusting pin, which allows the seat to teeter on top of the pin. If over-travel occurs, the upper seat pedestal tube could separate from the lower pedestal tube during vehicle operation. If the driver is sitting in the driver's seat and reaches to adjust the seat height, their weight will cause the seat to drop, which could result in their hand being pinched between the seat and the lever. The driver's seat is difficult to adjust to a higher position because of the additional weight of the all belts to seat (abts) design.
Consequence
This may result in personal injury.
Remedy
Ic will notify owners and repair the seats free of charge. The recall began on February 23, 2007. Owners may contact ic at 1-800-448-7825.
