The 2007INTERNATIONALCE carries 4 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 CE is service brakes, hydraulic with 1 filings, followed by visibility (1) and visibility:glass, side/rear (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 1 active recall campaign, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 22 investigation files overlapping the 2007 CE. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

20160517ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE A FLEET OF 135 SCHOOL BUSES. OUR 2005 - 2014 INTERNATIONAL CE SCHOOL BUSES HAVE A DEFECT IN THE WIRING FOR THE ECM POWER SUPPLY. THE CIRCUIT OVERHEATS, MELTS THE CONNECTORS AND THE BUS SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT START. TWICE THIS WEEK WE VE HAD BUSES SHUT DOWN IN INTERSECTIONS. WE HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON ALMOST ALL OF THE 74 INTERNATIONAL BUSES WE HAVE. ALMOST ALL THE PLASTIC WIRE CONNECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH BUTT CONNECTORS, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE ELECTRICAL SHORT FINDS THE WEAK PINT OF THE SYSTEM. IT WILL BLOW THE FUSE , OR MELT THE RELAY CONNECTOR. THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME OF OPERATION. I BELIEVE THE ECM WIRING IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE THE LOAD.MY CONCERN IS THAT WE ARE CARRYING KIDS. IF THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN IN A INTERSECTION MAY CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. WE HAVE ALREADY HAVE ROAD CALLS TO RESCUE BUSES ON FIELD TRIPS AND SPORTS TRIPS.
