STRUCTURE:BODY

Issued by International Motors, LLC · Reported Jul 16, 2026 · 22,730 vehicles affected

What's wrong

International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2025-2027 IC Bus EVSB and CESB school buses. The driver's window panel and entrance door vertical joints may have been attached without sufficient epoxy coverage. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."

Consequence

The body panels may separate during a crash, reducing structural integrity and increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Dealers will install rivets along the driver's side window seam and entrance door seam, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 14, 2026. Owners may contact International's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 26511.
