SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
- The defect
- International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2018 International 4000 Series 4300, 2017-2025 MV, 2018-2024 1300 FBC, 2018-2025 IC Bus TC, and 2024-2025 IC Bus CECB vehicles. The brake pressure switch assembly may leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch's electrical components and cause an electrical short-circuit.
- What it can cause
- An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire while driving or parked.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will install a silicone black jumper harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 15, 2025. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 25509. Vehicles previously repaired under 23V397 will need to have the new remedy completed.
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 4,764 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
International vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 8 times before this, most recently in June 2023 as 23V397000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 33 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V461000 (structure), 26V459000 (electrical system), 25V817000 (electrical system), 25V647000 (parking brake).
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 August 6, 2025 as campaign 25V502000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
