International Motors is recalling 16,553 IC Bus CESB school buses from model years 2016 through 2024. The brake pressure switch in these vehicles can leak brake fluid into electrical components, which may lead to an electrical short-circuit and overheating. Dealers will install a new silicone black jumper harness free of charge to resolve the issue, even if the vehicle was previously repaired under a different recall (23V398).
An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can cause the circuit to overheat, creating a high risk of fire while the bus is driving or parked. Because of this fire risk, owners are advised to park the vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the repair is finished.
You have 2 options:
Installation of a silicone black jumper harness to prevent electrical shorts.
Precautionary parking advisory to mitigate fire risk.
Vehicles previously repaired under 23V398 will need to have the new remedy completed.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
