These vehicles may exhibit engine hard start, no start, or stall conditions due to possibly damaged terminals in the fuse holder connector of the injector drive module (idm) clean battery power circuits. The terminals may have been damaged during electrical continuity testing in the manufacturing process.

Fix: Navistar will notify owners and replace the idm fuse holder free of charge. The recall began on october 3, 2008. Owners can contact navistar toll-free at 1-800-448-7825.
Child seat:latch strap
Problem: Certain 2004-2006 my ic corporation ce, fe, and re school buses manufactured from may 12, 2003, through march 2, 2005, equipped with child restraint anchorage systems. The diameter latch attachment bars exceed the diameter requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, child restraint anchorage systems, which may make it difficult to use with future car seat attachments. In addition, some of the latch attachments are located too far forward of the seat back.
Risk: Not attaching the child seat properly may result in personal injury or death in the event of a vehicle crash. Also, the inappropriate placement of the brackets may result in personal injury to a passenger not seated in a car seat.
Fix: Ic corporation will notify its customers and (1) the brackets will be removed and replaced by a special belt system and (2) the seat frame will be replaced by a frame with a new seat attachment bracket. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on august 19, 2005. Owners may contact international at 260-461-1924.
Power train:driveline:driveshaft
Problem: Certain 2003, 2005, and 2006 my ic corporation re school and commercial buses manufactured between january 29, 2003, and march 9, 2005. There can be metal to metal interference at the driveline u-joint. This interference can loosen the axle strap or cause the strap or strap bolts to break because of fatigue stresses, causing the driveshaft to separate from the axle yoke.
Risk: If the driveshaft separates from the vehicle, it could come in contact with other vehicles on or near the roadway, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: Ic corporation will notify its customers and will repair the vehicle free of charge. The recall began on august 5, 2005. Owners may contact international at 260-461-1924.
