2025–2026 IC Bus Cesb recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
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."
💥 The risk
A bus that moves while the platform lift is in operation increases the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the dash electronic control unit (DECU) module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 16, 2025. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 25506.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
