Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2008 Ic Bus Be Commercial Bus in Canada.
Certain buses fail to conform to the requirements of CMVSS 217 – Bus Window Retention, Release and Emergency Exits. Specifically, push-out windows and other emergency exits may only be identified using unilingual text, instead of using text in both official languages. In the event of an emergency, this could hamper passenger efforts to quickly exit the vehicle, which could increase the risk of personal injuries. Correction: Dealers will install updated labels.
A failure of this component (label) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain buses equipped with a MaxxForce 7 engine, the positive alternator cable may rub against the engine control module mounting bracket. Continued contact could wear through the alternator cable's insulation, which could cause an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the alternator cable for signs of abrasion damage and install tie straps to route the cable away from the engine control module mounting bracket.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles equipped with an INTERNATIONAL® VT365 engine, the engine calibration normally responds to a failed open accelerator position sensor circuit fault by returning the engine to low idle speed of 800 rpm and disabling the driver's ability to increase the engine speed. However, If the open circuit condition corrects itself within 30 seconds of its initiation the engine calibration misinterprets this event by going into a "limp home mode" where the engine speed is increased from low idle speed to the high idle speed of 1200 rpm. This increase to high idle speed may occur without warning causing a sudden and unexpected shift in vehicle position possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install an updated engine calibration.
A failure of this component (powertrain) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles, the parking brake may release if the brake system's electronic control unit misinterprets signals generated from turning the ignition key more than once at a specific rate. The release of the parking brake may cause a sudden, unexpected shift in vehicle position, resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will reprogram brake system electronic control unit.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain buses, the heater blower motor located in the entrance door stepwell heater unit as well as the rear wall-mounted heater unit may fail. This could result in elevated temperatures that could ignite nearby combustible materials. A vehicle fire could cause property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs

Certain buses may exhibit engine hard start, no start, or stall conditions due to possibly damaged terminals in the fuse holder connector of the Injector Drive Module (IDM) clean battery power circuit. These terminals may have been damaged during electrical continuity testing done during the manufacturing process. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
