Recalls- Electrical fuse block. Recall 15V580000 affects 145 vehicles manufactured March 18, 2015 to July 10, 2015.

- Exhaust bellow pipe. Recall 18V309000 involves 1123 vehicles equipped with ISX engines from 2011 to 2016.

Dealers will replace the bellows pipe with an improved part free of charge.
- Steering tie rod nuts. Recall 15V184000 affects 131 vehicles manufactured August to December 2014. Tie rod nuts on front and steerable tag axles may be improperly torqued, risking loss of vehicle control and crash. Dealers will inspect and replace parts as needed free of charge.
- Driver seat J-Brackets. Recall 16V020000 targets 607 vehicles manufactured up to November 23, 2015. Certain Recaro Ergo-M bus driver seats may have missing welds on J-Brackets, which can cause the seat belt anchorage to fail, increasing injury risk in a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace defective brackets free of charge.
Owners with repeated repairs related to safety defects or unresolved recall issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting with a consumer protection attorney who specializes in lemon law is advisable to understand possible remedies.
