NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 THROUGH 2012 IC BE, CE, AND FE SCHOOL BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 1, 2006, THROUGH MAY 2, 2011.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
