Defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 IC CE school buses manufactured May 4, 2015, to December 15, 2015, and 2016 IC RE school buses manufactured July 17, 2015, to December 15, 2015, and equipped with certain Transpec T6000, T6100, and T7000 series school bus stop arms. The affected stop arms have a reflective decal that may peel loose from the stop arm. As such, these stop arms fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 131, "School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices."
Safety risk
Without a reflective decal, the stop arms would have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop arm blade assembly, free of charge. The recall began on March 17, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590, or Specialty customer service at 1-800-951-7867. Navistar's number for this recall is 16501.
