What's wrong?
The steering wheel retaining nut on 2022-2023 Ic Bus Ce, EV, Resb, Re, and Cesb school buses is the fastener that clamps the steering wheel to the steering column shaft. When it is tightened correctly, the wheel stays locked to the shaft so the driver's steering input turns the front wheels.
On affected buses, the retaining nut was tightened incorrectly during assembly. Navistar found under-torqued nuts during inspection, and the cause remained under investigation in the recall filing. If the nut backs off, the steering wheel can loosen and detach from the column shaft, leaving the driver without a secure way to steer.
Before separation, the operator can hear a rattle under the horn pad. The steering wheel can also feel loose in the driver's hands.
