What's wrong?
The positive battery cable on the 2011-2012 Ic Bus Re carries electrical power from the battery to the bus electrical system. It is a heavy insulated cable, and that insulation is what keeps the live cable from contacting nearby metal parts. The hydraulic cooler reservoir mounting bracket is a fixed metal support near that cable.
On affected buses, the positive battery cable is routed close enough to that bracket that normal vibration lets the cable rub against it. Over time, the bracket wears through the cable insulation. Once the metal conductor inside the cable contacts the bracket, the bus can develop an electrical short.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver or service technician should treat damaged insulation, chafing, or a cable touching the bracket as a repair concern, but the filing does not identify a dashboard light, sound, or drivability change that appears before the short.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
An electrical short creates a fire risk, and a fire can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Treat this as a safety repair, not a routine maintenance item, and arrange dealer service before regular use continues. Repair will be free at any franchised Ic Bus dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2012 Ic Bus Re is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Ic Bus dealer to ask whether the free battery-cable repair is open for recall number 11V367.
- Ask the dealer to inspect and repair the positive battery cable so it no longer rubs the hydraulic cooler reservoir mounting bracket.
- Bring the recall notice if Ic Bus mailed one, or give the dealer recall number 11V367 when you call.
- Avoid operating the bus if you see battery-cable damage, smoke, heat, or signs of an electrical short; ask the dealer about towing.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Ic Bus technician repairs the affected bus at no charge under recall 11V367. The work centers on the positive battery cable where it contacts or rubs against the hydraulic cooler reservoir mounting bracket, a condition that can lead to an electrical short. Because the source record says parts availability had not been determined, treat the final dealer repair as free once available and confirm the current repair procedure with the Ic Bus service desk before sending the bus in.
