- The defect

- What it can cause
- A brake fluid leak can extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the brake lines and brake line retainers as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 27, 2026. Owners may contact International's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 26502. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning April 20, 2026.

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 4,393 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
IC Bus vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 8 times before this, most recently in August 2025 as 25V503000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 28 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V460000 (structure), 26V364000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 26V168000 (structure), 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.
