The problem

International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2025-2027 IC Bus EVSB and CESB school buses.

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.
