Descriptive Information : • The suspect population is identified by models equipped with feature codes 0008TLC (210 kWh Total Battery Capacity).
• The inclusive dates of manufacture were determined by when high voltage cables with the incorrect identification marking tape were installed through when high voltage cables with the correct identification marking tape were installed.
• The vehicles in the suspect population were built with incorrect identification marking tape on the high voltage positive cables from the battery packs to the manual service disconnects (MSDs) and all similar vehicles outside the suspect population were built with the correct identification marking tape.
There are 20 EV school buses in the suspect population. Production Dates : JUL 20, 2023 – AUG 07, 2023
VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : The high voltage positive cables from the battery packs to the MSDs may have incorrect identification marking tape, blue in color or no tape at all indicating a lower level (2 or 1) of isolation, instead of white in color, indicating a level 3 isolation (battery fuse removal).
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : An incorrectly identified cable may indicate to a first responder, technician, or customer that the cable is deenergized, when it may not be, possibly
increasing the risk of electrical shock that may result in personal injury or Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-027 Page 2 death.
Description of the Cause : Certain battery cable kits requiring rework to replace incorrect “blue tape” with correct “white tape” since previous recall (22V-850) may not have been properly reworked. Some kits may still have the “blue tape,” and some may not have any tape at all. Identification of Any Warning

Country : NR Chronology :
• 11/15/23 – Navistar Manufacturing reports the issue to Field Quality.
• 11/16/23 to 01/08/2024 – Navistar Manufacturing quarantines all units (248) onsite at the Tulsa Bus Plant. An inspection found 10 units with the incorrect striping tape color.
• 12/1/2023 – Navistar Product Safety was informed that the corrective actions in place for safety recall 22V-850 did not stay in place.
• 12/05/2023 thru 1/8/2024 – Navistar Product Safety works with Manufacturing and Service Engineering reviewing parts at their storage locations, plant assembly records, and operator part shortage reports, looking for trends to determine the potential suspect population.
• 12/6/2023 – Product Safety meets with Service Engineering, to review the results of 14 inventory EV buses inspected at a dealership. Of these, 10 did not have the correct color tape and required repairing.
• 12/13/2023 – Navistar Manufacturing revised the Point of Application (POA) inspection checklist to verify correct color identification tape is present.
• 01/09/2024 – Product safety finalizes the suspect population. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-027

• 01/11/2024 – Navistar declares a Safety Recall.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : • The remedy will involve inspecting the high voltage cables for the
presence of the correct “white” identification tape and installing “white” identification tape on cables without identification tape or cables with incorrect identification tape.
• Navistar’s plan for reimbursement of pre-notification remedies, on file with NHTSA and dated 05/06/2022, applies and reimbursement instructions will be included in the customer notification. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component :
Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The remedy will involve installation of “white” high voltage identification tape where the recalled cables have no high voltage identification tape.
12/13/2023 – Navistar Manufacturing revised inspection checklist to verify correct Identification tape is present on the battery high voltage cables to the MSDs. Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : It is estimated that the Dealer remedy instructions will release on
01/29/2024 and the customer notification will mail on 02/05/2024.
Planned Dealer Notification Date : JAN 29, 2024 – JAN 29, 2024
Planned Owner Notification Date : FEB 05, 2024 – FEB 05, 2024
