Navistar, Inc.: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Navistar, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Nov 3, 2014 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 68. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Navistar, Inc.(Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 IC CE transit buses manufactured January 23,2006, to May 12, 2014, 2008, and 2011 IC FE transit buses manufactured October 5, 2006, to September 28, 2009, and 2009-2010, and 2013 IC RE transit buses manufactured September 19, 2007, to November 29, 2011, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation after January 1, 2006. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
The risk
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The interim notices were mailed on December 29, 2014. The recall began on January 29, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Navistar's number for this recall is 14517.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 14V691000.
