This notice applies to your vehicle identified on the enclosed card.
Dear IC Bus Customer,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
IC Bus has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2020 CE school bus models built 08/30/2018 thru 07/11/2019 and certain 2019 and 2020 RE school bus models built 09/05/2018 thru 07/11/2019 with feature code 48PZP, 48PZR, 48RZY, 48SXV, or 48SZG (Prool hatch).
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
The emergency roof hatch external release handle may break and prevent the hatch release mechanism from being actuated from outside the vehicle. However, failure of the external release handle does not prevent actuation of the release mechanism from inside the vehicle.

DEFECT REMEDY
The repair will involve replacement of any external release handle on a hatch found within suspect build date range. Dealers have parts and instructions to repair your vehicle. The repair will be performed free of charge and take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
ACTIONS YOU SHOULD TAKE
If you own this vehicle, please schedule an appointment with any IC Bus dealer to have your vehicle repaired. You can find your nearest dealer by calling 1-800-448-7825 or by using the dealer locator at https://www.icbus.com.

Present your original repair paperwork and proof of payment to any IC Bus dealer and your eligibility will be reviewed. You may also submit a claim using the enclosed Request for Reimbursement card.
If you are the lessor of this vehicle, please forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days to comply with federal regulations.

with an identical or reasonable equivalent vehicle at no charge, or to a refund of
the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
