Defect SummaryFour compression backplate retaining fasteners on the turbo-charger were torqued only hand tight. this allows the fasteners to loosen, and causes oil to leak into the compressor air side of the turbo-charger which, when coupled with the heat precipitated by the compressor and the mixing action of the compressor wheel, can result in an air/oil mixture that fuels the engine.
Consequence SummaryWhen this occurs, engine run-on and subsequent loss of operator control via the normal throttle mechanism can occur, which could result in a vehicle accident.
Corrective SummaryReplace the suspect turbo-charger with a new turbo-charger.

Defect SummaryThese buses have a turn signal lever that will not operate consistently in the lane change mode if the lever is not moved to the position where resistance to movement is felt.
Consequence SummaryShould the rear signal lamps not flash when a lane change was being made, it could result in a vehicle following the bus to collide with the bus increasing the risk of personal injury and/or property damage.

Defect SummaryThe wiring from the electronic control unit was connected to the wrong wheel sensor or to the wrong brake modulator valve. it is possible that either or both wiring may have occurred at either the front or rear axle or both axles.
Consequence SummaryShould the anti-lock braking system (abs) wiring be crossed, it would result in a significant degradation in vehicle stopping distance. a signal would be sent to the wrong brake chamber when a brake imbalance is detected. this condition increases the risk of a vehicle accident.
Corrective SummaryDealers will inspect the abs wiring and, if necessary, properly connect.
NotesOwner notification:owner notification is expected to begin october 8, 1996.note:owners who take their vehicles 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.

Defect SummaryThe front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs. when mounted to the hub, the hydraulic brake disc rotor does not properly support the hub at the wheel studs causing excessive stress and fatigue cracks in the hub.
Consequence SummaryShould sufficient cracks occur, the mounting flange portion of the hub along with the wheel could separate from the vehicle without warning. should this occur while the vehicle is driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and/or the separated wheel and hub could strike another vehicle, pedestrian or property.
Corrective SummaryDealers will install new, redesigned hubs on these vehicles.
