The short answer

NHTSA received NAVISTAR, INC’s report on Jul 21, 2011. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

THIS NONCOMPLIANCE MAY REDUCE CONSPICUITY OF THE REAR DOOR, REDUCING THE ABILITY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL TO IDENTIFY AND GAIN ACCESS TO THE REAR EXIT DURING AN EMERGENCY, POSSIBLY INCREASING THE OCCUPANT’S RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DURING AN EMERGENCY.

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.

THE REFLECTIVE TAPE FOR THE REAR EXIT DOOR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TOTALLY COMPLETED.

ACCORDINGLY, THE BUSES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 217, “BUS EMERGENCY EXITS AND WINDOW RETENTION AND RELEASE.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
