2025-2026 IC Bus CESB Recalled for Headlight Low Beam Failure

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

International Motors, LLC is recalling 6,988 of its 2025-2026 IC Bus CESB school buses that are equipped with halogen headlights. In these vehicles, the low-beam headlights automatically turn off whenever the high beams are activated, which does not meet federal safety standards. Owners can take their buses to a dealer for a free software update to the body control module (BCM) to correct the lighting behavior.

Risk

When low beams fail to stay on while high beams are in use, it significantly reduces the driver's visibility and may confuse other motorists. This loss of illumination increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. This recall involves 2025-2026 IC Bus CESB school buses equipped with halogen headlights.
  2. Identify if your bus is affected by checking the model year and headlight type (halogen).
  3. Contact an authorized International dealer to schedule a free update for the body control module (BCM) software.
  4. For more information, contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825 and refer to recall number 25502.
  5. For additional questions, call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov/recalls.
