Summary

International Motors, LLC is recalling approximately 3,230 school buses, including certain 2024-2026 IC Bus CESB and 2025 EVSB models. The parking brake tension spring may corrode and break, which can cause the parking brake to disengage without warning. Dealers will replace the parking brake cable and adjust the brake for free to ensure the vehicle stays securely in place when parked.

Risk

A parking brake that fails to stay engaged can allow the school bus to roll away while parked. This unintended movement significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury to students and bystanders.
