Problem 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." Risk Without a reflective decal, the stop arms would have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix 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.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 16501 is the number IC BUS assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V030000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is 16501 the same recall as 16V030000?

Yes. 16501 is IC BUS’s own number for it; 16V030000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does 16501 cover?

2016–2017 IC BUS Cesb and 1 other IC BUS model, 529 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 16501 repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
