SERVICE PROCEDURE
19514
OCTOBER, 2019
SUBJECT:

SAFETY RECALL
Emergency Roof Hatch on certain IC Bus® CE
Series and RE Series commercial bus models built
04 September 2018 thru 14 May 2019 with feature
codes 48PZP, 48PZR, 48RZY, 48SXV, or 48SZG
(Prolo hatch).

DEFECT DESCRIPTION
The emergency roof hatch external release handle may break and prevent the
hatch release mechanism from being actuated from outside the vehicle.
However, failure of the external release handle does not prevent actuation of the
release mechanism from inside the vehicle. A broken handle in the event of an
emergency would make it more difficult to access the passenger compartment of
the vehicle, which could result in possible injury or death.

MODELS INVOLVED
This safety recall involves certain IC Bus® CE Series and RE Series commercial
bus models built 04 September 2018 thru 14 May 2019 with feature codes
48PZP, 48PZR, 48RZY, 48SXV, or 48SZG (Prolo hatch).

ELIGIBILITY
This procedure applies ONLY to vehicles marked in the International® Service
Portal℠ with Safety Recall 19514. Also complete any other open campaigns
listed on the Service Portal at this time.

UNITED STATES AND POSSESSIONS
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, provides that
each vehicle that is subject to a vehicle recall campaign must be adequately
repaired within a reasonable time after the owner has tendered it for repair. A
failure to adequately repair within 60 days after a tender of a vehicle is prima
facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not
adequately repaired within 60 days, the owner may be entitled to replacement
with an identical or reasonable equivalent vehicle at no charge, or to a refund of
the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
Dealers must correct all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to the
owner, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time
forward.
Dealers should proceed immediately to make necessary correction to units in
inventory. All inventory vehicles subject to this recall campaign must be
corrected prior to sale, transfer or delivery. If vehicles have been sold or
transferred and you are in receipt of Customer Notification Letters and
Authorization for Recall Service cards for those vehicles, the transfer location or
customer must be notified immediately from your dealer location.
Dealers must make every effort to promptly schedule an appointment with each
owner to repair his or her vehicle as soon as possible. However, consistent with
the customer notification, dealers are expected to complete the repairs on the
mutually agreed upon service date.
