Recall 10V056 affects 49 2010 Ic Fecb and Re buses for reduced low-beam headlight intensity. Repair is free at any franchised Ic dealer.
Ic is recalling 49 2010 Fecb and Re transit buses because wires in the headlight electrical harness were installed in the wrong connector cavities, reducing low-beam headlight intensity. Dimmer low beams increase crash risk, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The low beam headlights on 2010 Ic Fecb and Re buses are supposed to light the road at a controlled brightness and aim pattern. Power reaches each lamp through an electrical harness, which is a bundle of wires routed through connectors so each circuit feeds the right part of the headlight system.
In this recall, wires in the headlight harness were installed in the wrong connector cavities. That means the circuit still connects, but it does not feed the low beams the way the design requires. The result is degraded low beam intensity, so the bus does not meet the federal lighting standard named in campaign 10V056.
There is no warning sign before failure. What an owner, driver, or fleet technician can notice is weaker low beam light during a walkaround or night operation, especially compared with another bus of the same type.
Who's affected?
The scope covers Fecb and Re buses from one model year, with the headlight component named for each model.
| 2010 Ic Fecb | Headlights |
|---|---|
| 2010 Ic Bus Re | Headlights |
| Units affected | 49 |
A matching 2010 Ic Fecb or Re bus does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
Reduced low-beam headlight intensity gives the driver less usable light at night or in poor visibility and increases the risk of a crash. Use extra caution after dark, and schedule the harness inspection and any needed wiring repair. Repair will be free at any franchised Ic dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Ic Fecb or Re bus is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ic dealer and ask whether the headlight-harness inspection and wiring repair is open for your VIN.
- Ask the dealer to inspect the headlight electrical harness connector wiring and repair it free of charge if the low-beam wiring is in the wrong connector cavity.
- Bring the owner notice if you have it, and reference recall number 10V056 when you call.
- Avoid nighttime driving until the dealer confirms full low-beam headlight intensity or completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Ic technician inspects the headlight electrical harness connector wiring and checks whether the wires sit in the correct connector cavities. If the wiring is wrong, the technician repairs the harness so the low beam headlights operate at the required intensity. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. The remedy does not list a separate time estimate for the inspection or repair.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V056?
Recall 10V056 covers 49 2010 Ic Fecb and Re transit buses with headlight harness wiring installed in incorrect connector cavities. That can reduce low beam headlight intensity and increase crash risk. Ic dealers will inspect the headlight harness connector wiring and repair it for free if needed.
What should I do if my 2010 Ic Fecb or Re is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific bus is included in recall 10V056. If it is, contact a franchised Ic dealer to schedule the headlight electrical harness connector inspection. Reference recall number 10V056 when you call. The inspection and needed repair are free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says Ic dealers will inspect the headlight electrical harness connector wiring and repair it if needed free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced low beam headlight intensity. If the headlight wiring is in the wrong connector cavities, the bus does not meet the federal lighting standard, and lower nighttime visibility increases the risk of a crash.
When did the recall repair start?
The safety recall began on March 5, 2010. If your VIN is included and the repair has not been completed, call a franchised Ic dealer or Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 and ask for the free headlight harness connector inspection under recall 10V056.
