Recall 13V020 affects 7,657 2011-2013 Ic Bus buses and related vehicles for IPR harness wire damage. Repair is free at any franchised Ic Bus dealer.

Ic Bus is recalling 7,657 2011-2013 Icsb, 1300FBC, and Durastar vehicles because the injection pressure regulator harness wire can break from vibration and shut down the engine without warning. An engine shutdown while driving raises crash risk, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The injection pressure regulator harness on these 2011-2013 Ic Bus vehicles is an electrical wiring connection for the engine's fuel injection pressure regulator. That regulator helps control injection pressure on the I-6 engine while the engine is running. The harness carries the electrical signal that lets the regulator respond when the engine control system calls for pressure changes.

On affected Icsb, 1300FBC, Durastar, Workstar, Ce, Re, Ambassador, Endeavor, Diplomat, and Knight vehicles, the harness wire is exposed to vibration. That vibration damages the wire until it breaks. Once the wire breaks, the injection pressure regulator loses the signal it needs, and the engine shuts down unexpectedly.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver should treat a sudden engine shutdown as the defect showing up, not as a normal stall.

Who's affected?

This is a mixed vehicle group: buses, trucks, and motorhomes across the 2011-2013 model years, with electrical system and engine cooling components included.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

An unexpected engine shutdown while driving can remove engine power while the vehicle is in traffic and increase the risk of a crash. If the engine stalls or shuts down, move out of traffic when safe and arrange dealer service before using the vehicle again. Repair will be free at any franchised Ic Bus dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2013 Ic Bus Icsb, 1300FBC, Durastar, Workstar, Ce, Re, Ambassador, Endeavor, Diplomat, or Knight is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Ic Bus dealer and ask whether the free repair is open for your VIN.
  3. Schedule the IPR wire connector replacement that fixes the harness damage linked to unexpected engine shutdown.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Ic Bus mailed one. If not, reference recall number 13V020 when you call.
  5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and pull over safely if the engine loses power or shuts down.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 13V020?

Recall 13V020 covers 7,657 2011-2013 Ic Bus vehicles with an injection pressure regulator harness wire that can break from vibration. If that wire breaks, the engine can shut down unexpectedly while driving, increasing crash risk. Dealers replace the IPR wire connector for free.

What should I do if my 2011-2013 Ic Bus Icsb, 1300FBC, Durastar, Workstar, Ce, Re, Ambassador, Endeavor, Diplomat, or Knight is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your vehicle is included in recall 13V020. If it is, contact a franchised Ic Bus dealer and ask for the free IPR wire connector replacement. Reference recall number 13V020 when you call.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost, and the recall remedy states that dealers replace the IPR wire connector free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for included vehicles.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is an unexpected engine shutdown while driving. A broken injection pressure regulator harness wire can stop the engine without the driver choosing to shut it off, which increases crash risk. The repair path is the free IPR wire connector replacement at the dealer.

What if I bought this vehicle used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall eligibility follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your vehicle is included, then call a franchised Ic Bus dealer and reference recall 13V020.
