2017 IC BUS RESB Complaints and Recall Information
The 2017 IC BUS RESB has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to safety systems and equipment adapted for mobility, though no specific complaint details are available.
There are five recalls affecting various systems on the 2017 IC BUS RESB. These recalls involve safety features including wheelchair lifts, emergency exit markings, seat belts, and air brake components.
Recalls- Wheelchair lift defects. NHTSA recall 16V765000 affects 685 vehicles with specific Ricon wheelchair lifts having oversized pivot holes that allow bearings to move out of position. This can cause excessive movement or failure of the platform mounting, risking the lift falling out and causing injury. Repairs include inspection and replacement of damaged parts at no cost.
- Emergency exit tape missing. Under recall 16V454000, 1787 vehicles lack reflective tape around emergency roof hatches as required by FMVSS 217. The absence reduces emergency personnel’s ability to locate exits, increasing risk in emergencies. Dealers will install the reflective tape free of charge.
- Seat belt buckle mount rod fracture. Recall 17V659000 covers 47 vehicles with IMMI seat assemblies where the seat belt buckle mount rod can fracture under load. This failure may cause occupant restraint loss in crashes. Dealers will replace the rods at no charge.
- Seat belt assembly issues. The same recall 17V659000 also addresses seat belt defects relating to the buckle mount rods described above, emphasizing compliance failure with FMVSS 210. Repairs involve free replacement of the defective parts.
- Air brake hose interference. Recall 17V660000 affects 778 vehicles with incorrectly oriented drop hose fittings that can contact tires when wheels turn sharply. This can damage brake hoses, potentially causing brake failure or increased stopping distances. The fix involves repositioning the fittings and replacing damaged components.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs, safety defects, or unresolved recall issues related to these or other problems may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting an attorney experienced in lemon law could assist in evaluating available options.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2015-2018 IC Bus RE school buses. The drop hose fittings for the air brakes may not be oriented correctly, and, as a result, the brake hoses may contact the tire when the wheels are turned to the limit.
Risk: Contact with the tires may damage the service brake air hose, causing the brakes to become inoperative or lengthening the distance needed to stop the bus, increasing the risk of a crash.

SEAT BELTS
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017 IC Bus CE and 2016-2017 IC Bus RE school buses, equipped with certain IMMI school bus seat assemblies equipped with 3-point lap and shoulder belts. Under load, the seat belt buckle mount rod can fracture. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Risk: In the event of a crash, if the buckle mount rod fractures, the seat occupant may not be restrained, increasing their risk of injury.

685 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 IC Bus AE and BE, 2015-2017 CE and 2016-2017 RE school buses, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts by Ricon. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
Risk: If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016-2017 IC Bus CE school buses manufactured June 15, 2015, to May 20, 2016, and RE school buses manufactured June 18, 2015, to April 27, 2016. These buses may have been manufactured without reflective outline tape around the emergency exit roof hatches. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Risk: Absence of the reflective outline tape may reduce conspicuity of the emergency exit roof hatches, reducing the ability of emergency personnel to identify and gain access to the emergency roof hatches, possibly increasing the passenger's risk of personal injury or death during an emergency.
