EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY:WHEELCHAIR LIFT/RAMP

The defect
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."
What it can cause
A bus that moves while the platform lift is in operation increases the risk of injury.
What the dealer does
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.

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 7 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. 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 equipment adaptive/mobility 18 times before this, most recently in August 2018 as 18V563000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V460000 (structure), 26V168000 (structure), 26V111000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V879000 (equipment adaptive/mobility).

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 May 15, 2025 as campaign 25V323000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
