| Defect Summary : Vehicle description: school buses equipped with the international i6 electronic engine and an extra thick bus body floor. the accelerator pedal to floor clearance is approximately 1.2 inches with a standard bus body floor. however, some customers ordered an additional 3/4 inch thick floor and extra thick floor mats to serve as insulation in cold climates. when this extra flooring is used, the bottom edge of the accelerator pedal, when depressed, can come in contact with the floor. |
Consequence Summary: Should the accelerator pedal contact the floor, the pedal could get caught and not return to the idle position increasing the risk of a vehicle accident. |
| Corrective Summary : Dealers will inspect the flooring on these buses to insure there is a minimum of 1/4 inch clearance. on buses with less than 1/4 inch clearance, the dealer will remove the pedal and cut off the bottom of the pad to obtain the proper clearance. |
Recall Notes: Owner notification:owner notification will begin december 20, 1996. note:owners who take their buses to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393. |
