PARKING BRAKE
- The defect
- International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2024-2026 IC Bus CESB and 2025 EVSB school buses. The tension spring may corrode and break, disengaging the barking brake.
- What it can cause
- A parking brake that is not engaged as expected when the driver releases the brakes may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the parking brake cable and adjust the parking brake, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 6, 2025. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 25511.
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 3,230 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 71% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
IC Bus vehicles have been recalled over the parking brake 4 times before this, most recently in May 2024 as 24V341000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 20 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 August 12, 2025 as campaign 25V522000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
