There are 19 recalls affecting various systems from structural components to lighting and braking. These recalls address potential safety hazards and mechanical failures that could impact vehicle operation and occupant safety.
- Seat belt anchor bolts. Recall 25V266000 affects 964 vehicles where the driver’s seat belt anchor bolt may come loose. A loose seat belt may fail to restrain the driver properly in a crash, increasing injury risk. Dealers install spacers and tighten bolts at no charge.
- Parking brake release. Recall 25V323000 involves 7 vehicles where the parking brake can release when the wheelchair platform lift is deployed. The recall addresses failure to comply with FMVSS 403 and risk of injury if the bus moves during lift operation. Dealers replace the dash electronic control unit module.
- Structural integrity. Recall 25V580000 covers 193 school buses with potentially missing underfloor reinforcement. This defect compromises structural safety and violates FMVSS 210 and 222. Dealers inspect and install reinforcement channels as needed.
- Park valve module failure. Recall 24V341000 affects 91 vehicles equipped with Intellipark PVM, where a fractured rubber ball seal may cause parking brake failure or unexpected engagement while driving, increasing crash risk. Dealers replace the PVM.
- Headlight malfunction. Recall 25V176000 covers 6,988 buses with halogen headlights that turn off low beams when high beams are activated, violating FMVSS 108 and reducing visibility. Dealers update body control module software.
- Parking brake cable corrosion. Recall 25V522000 involves 3,230 buses where the parking brake tension spring may corrode and break, allowing rollaway risk. Dealers replace the cable and adjust the brake.
- Brake light failure. Recall 24V375000 affects 319 buses with software errors preventing brake lights from illuminating during braking, violating FMVSS 121 and increasing crash risk. Dealers update vehicle software.
- Brake caliper mounting. Recall 24V750000 impacts 1,216 buses with potentially loose or missing brake caliper mounting bolts, risking caliper detachment and brake loss. Dealers inspect, tighten, and replace bolts as required.
- Tie rod assemblies. Recall 24V463000 covers 30 buses with incorrectly heat-treated ball studs in tie rods that may break and cause steering loss. Dealers replace tie rods and realign the axle.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved safety recalls may want to explore their rights under state lemon laws to address persistent defects or safety concerns.

2025 IC BUS CESB
193 vehicles affected
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.
2025 IC BUS CESB
7 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY:WHEELCHAIR LIFT/RAMP
International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2025-2026 IC Bus CESB school buses. The parking brake can be released when the wheelchair platform lift is deployed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
Risk: A bus that moves while the platform lift is in operation increases the risk of injury.
2025 IC BUS CESB
964 vehicles affected
SEAT BELTS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2025-2026 IC CESB and 2025 EVSB school buses. The driver's seat belt anchor bolt may come loose.
Risk: A loose seat belt may not properly restrain the driver in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
2025 IC BUS CESB
3230 vehicles affected
PARKING BRAKE
International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2024-2026 IC Bus CESB and 2025 EVSB school buses. The tension spring may corrode and break, disengaging the barking brake.
Risk: A parking brake that is not engaged as expected when the driver releases the brakes may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of crash.
2025 IC BUS CESB
6988 vehicles affected
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2025-2026 IC Bus CESB school buses equipped with halogen headlights. When the high beams are activated, the low beams turn off. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: Headlight low beam failure can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
2025 IC BUS CESB
91 vehicles affected
PARKING BRAKE
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2024-2025 IC Bus CE SBUS school buses equipped with Intellipark Park Valve Modules (PVM). The rubber ball seal in the PVM may fracture and cause a leak, which can result in park brake failure or unexpected park brake engagement while driving.
Risk: Park brake failure or unexpected park brake engagement while driving increases the risk of a crash.
2025 IC BUS CESB
319 vehicles affected
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2024-2025 IC Bus CE school buses. The brake lights, in certain conditions, may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed, due to a software error. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: Brake lights that fail to illuminate can reduce the visibility of the bus or fail to indicate to other drivers that the bus is slowing down, increasing the risk of a crash.
2025 IC BUS CESB
30 vehicles affected
STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2025 IC Bus CE school buses. Tie rod assemblies may contain ball studs that may have been incorrectly heat-treated, which can cause them to break, and possibly result in tie rod failure.
Risk: Tie rod failure can cause a loss of vehicle steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
2025 IC BUS CESB
1216 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2024-2025 IC Bus EVSB and 2024-2025 CESB school buses. The brake caliper mounting bolts may not have been properly tightened, allowing the brake caliper to detach from the anchor plate.
Risk: A detached brake caliper can cause a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
