IC Bus Cesb Recall 25V783: School Bus May Exceed Weight Limit, Raising Crash Risk

NHTSA campaign 25V783, reported November 13, 2025, 142 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2023-2027 IC Bus CESB school buses may exceed their Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) when fully loaded with passengers and with the fuel tank and fluid reservoirs full. The bus's weight limit label may be incorrect, which can lead to unintentionally overloading the bus.

An overloaded bus has a greater risk of being involved in a crash, because the weight can affect how the vehicle brakes, handles, and responds in an emergency.

The repair is free. Dealers will inspect and repair the suspension as necessary. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 27, 2026. You can contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825 (recall number 25523) and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
