What's wrong?
The affected 2003-2004 Ic Bus Cecb buses use heavy electrical cables to carry power from the batteries and clean power to the engine ECM, the engine computer that controls key engine functions. Those cables need intact insulation and clear routing so electrical current stays inside the wire and away from nearby metal or moving parts.
On these buses, the battery cables or the engine ECM clean power cables can rub against the parking brake cable. That rubbing wears through the cable covering. Once the insulation is damaged, exposed wiring can create an electrical short, which is the defect covered by recall 10V010.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing does not identify a sound, light, smell, or drivability change that appears before the cable insulation wears through.
Who's affected?
The same battery cable component is listed for 2003 and 2004 Cecb buses.
| 2004 Ic Bus Cecb | battery |
|---|---|
| 2003 Ic Bus Cecb | battery |
| Units affected | 9 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
An electrical short in the battery or ECM clean power cable can start a fire without warning, causing property damage, injury, or death. There is no warning sign before failure, so confirm whether your bus is included and schedule service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Ic Bus dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2003-2004 Ic Bus Cecb is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ic Bus dealer and ask whether the free battery-cable and ECM clean-power-cable inspection and rerouting is available for your bus.
- Reference recall number 10V010 when you call the dealer.
- Avoid parking near structures until the dealer checks the cables, because cable chafing can cause an electrical short and fire without warning.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and ask the dealer to repair damaged cables and reroute them away from the parking brake cable.
What happens at the repair
The recall remedy describes an Ic Bus dealer inspection of the battery cable and the engine ECM clean power cable. The technician checks for chafing where those cables pass near the parking brake cable, repairs damaged wiring as needed, and reroutes the cables away from the parking brake cable. The safety recall began on May 14, 2010. Once available for your VIN, parts and labor are covered under the recall.
