SEAT BELTS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect

- What it can cause
- A loose seat belt may not properly restrain the driver in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install spacers and tighten the seat belt anchor bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 2, 2025. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 25504.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 964 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
IC Bus vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 6 times before this, most recently in June 2019 as 19V479000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V460000 (structure), 26V226000 (electrical system), 26V168000 (structure), 26V111000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by International Motors, LLC with NHTSA on April 22, 2025 as campaign 25V266000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
