2008 IC FESB Recalls (9)

Campaign:
06V479000 on 12/20/2006
Component:
Seats
Manufactured:
10/10/2005 - 10/30/2006
Affected:
1,948
Defect:
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.
Correction:
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.
Notes:

Campaign:
07V028000 on 02/04/2007
Component:
Other:school bus stop arm assembly
Manufactured:
01/17/2006 - 01/16/2007
Affected:
422
Defect:
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.
Correction:
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.

Campaign:
07V224000 on 06/03/2007
Component:
Equipment adaptive
Manufactured:
01/19/2006 - 09/27/2006
Affected:
727
Defect:
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.
Correction:
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.

07V447000 on 09/24/2007
Component:
Service brakes, air:supply:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
03/28/2007 - 08/27/2007
Affected:
294
Defect:
Certain ic school and commercial buses manufactured between march 29 and august 28, 2007. the routing of the service and parking brake rubber drop hoses to the rear axle's brake components may bring them too close to the exhaust tail pipe.
Consequence:
The rubber hoses may melt if routed too close to the tail pipe causing either of the two possibilities: 1) an air leak on the parking brake hose may cause the parking brakes to slowly apply while depleting both the primary and secondary air circuits. even though the air pressure gauge and low air pressure warning buzzer would sound, these conditions could cause the bus to slow down or stop unexpectedly which may result in a vehicle crash. 2) an air leak on the service brake hose may result in extended stopping distances while also depleting the primary air tank possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the rubber brake hoses to determine their proximity to the tail pipe. any hose found to be closer than 4" will be replaced and both hoses will then be re-routed to ensure proper distance from the tail pipe. the inspection and repair will be performed free of charge. the recall began on november 16, 2007. owners can contact ic corporation at 1-800-843-5615 or international at 1-800-448-7825.

Consequence:
