STRUCTURE:BODY
International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2020-2026 IC Bus CESB and 2021 RESB school buses. The underfloor reinforcement may not have been installed, compromising the structural integrity of the buses. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages" and 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
Risk: Reduced structural integrity may increase the risk of injury in a crash.

16553 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2016-2024 IC Bus CESB school buses. The brake pressure switch assembly may leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch's electrical components and cause an electrical short-circuit.
Risk: An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire while driving or parked.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016 and 2018-2024 IC Bus CE school buses. The brake pressure switch assembly may leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch's electrical components and cause an electrical short-circuit.
Risk: An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire while driving or parked.
2020 IC BUS CESB
7322 vehicles affected
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM)
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2020-2023 IC CE school buses. The engine control module (ECM) may set a fault code that results in an unexpected engine shut down.
Risk: Unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled school bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL: PRE-HEATER
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017-2021 IC CE School Buses equipped with Cummins B6.7 diesel engines with fuel module option number FS90301 or FS90453. The electric fuel heater within the fuel module may overheat and cause plastic in the fuel heater to melt and potentially catch fire. It may also lead to engine stalling.
Risk: A fire increases the risk of injury. An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2019-2020 IC Bus CE school buses equipped with feature code 04AZS (4-channel Antilock Brakes, 4-channel Electronic Stability and Automatic Traction Control. The brake air line tube to the left brake modulator valve may have been improperly routed, possibly resulting in the line kinking, causing the vehicle to vehicle to pull to the right when braking or preventing the anti-lock brakes from functioning properly.
Risk: A vehicle pulling to the right during braking or improper ABS function can increase the risk of a crash.
2020 IC BUS CESB
475 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING: LAMP
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2019-2020 IC Bus CE school buses equipped with hydraulic brakes. The brake pressure switch on these buses may become stuck possibly resulting in a false fault code and brake warning light on the instrument cluster.
Risk: A false code or a brake warning light may lead a driver to immediately pull over to transfer passengers to another bus, which can increase the risk of injury. Additionally, if the driver is aware that the warning is false, they may continue to use the bus, and in the event of an actual brake system problem, the driver will not be warned, increasing the risk of a crash.
