SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
- The defect
- International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2016-2024 IC Bus CESB school buses. 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 were mailed December 15, 2025. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 25510. Vehicles previously repaired under 23V398 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

How this campaign compares
At 16,553 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
IC Bus vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 6 times before this, most recently in June 2023 as 23V398000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 9 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, 2 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 22 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V168000 (structure), 26V111000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V783000 (equipment), 25V646000 (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 25V503000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
