Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2005 Ic Bus Ce School Bus in Canada.
Certain school 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 school buses equipped with an I-6 engine, the high pressure engine oil line (between the cylinder head and the high pressure pump) may fail. This would cause an engine oil leak, which could result in sudden engine shut down. Lost vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In addition, oil may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, which could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the high pressure engine oil line.
A failure of this component (engine) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

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 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
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).
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.

On certain vehicles, the potting material that encapsulates the circuit board of the remote power module may not sufficiently seal the circuit board from water and contamination intrusion. If the encapsulation is compromised, water and contaminants may cause an internal electrical short. An electrical short could cause a fire which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealers will install a fused electrical cable in the ground circuit of each suspect vehicle that has one or more remote power module(s).
