Recall 26V460000 · manufacturer campaign 26511

Structure › Body — Ic Bus · reported 16 Jul 2026 · 22,730 vehicles potentially 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."

The risk

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

The fix

Dealers will install rivets along the driver's side window seam and entrance door seam, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 8, 2026. Owners may contact International's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 26511.
