What's wrong?
The forward radar on 2022-2023 Ic Bus Resb and Cesb school buses feeds the collision mitigation system, which helps the bus detect traffic ahead. These buses were built without that radar unit, so the system was not operational and the driver needed a clear warning label saying so.
The defect in NHTSA campaign 22V283 is the missing warning label, not a broken radar sensor on the bus. Navistar says the label was not installed at the factory on certain buses built with the Bendix Wingman prewire option. Without the label, a driver has less fixed, visual notice that the collision mitigation system is off.
There is no warning sign before failure. Navistar identified dashboard warning lamps and messages as driver indications that the collision mitigation system is not operational, but the missing label removes one of the intended reminders.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Ic Bus Resb or Cesb is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ic Bus dealer to schedule the free warning-label installation.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it. If not, reference recall number 22V283 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Ic Bus technician installs the missing warning label using Navistar's installation instructions. The label tells the driver that the collision mitigation system is inoperative on buses built without the forward radar unit. The warning label and installation instructions are provided free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the original warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected buses were within the original warranty period.
