As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 16V091000.
Defect description
Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 IC CE school buses manufactured from November 24, 2014, through January 22, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the hood straps used to latch the hood closed may become elongated and not return to their original length. As a result, the hood may open unexpectedly when the bus is braking.
Safety consequence
If the hood opens while braking, the driver's vision may be obstructed, increasing the risk of a crash.
