NHTSA safety advisory

Park this vehicle outside

NHTSA advises parking it away from buildings and other vehicles until the repair is done — the risk exists even when the vehicle is switched off.

This is the agency’s own advisory, not our assessment. Contact the manufacturer or a dealer, and see the official NHTSA notice for the current guidance.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text describes a structural defect (leaking brake pressure switch causing electrical short) that increases the risk of fire while driving or parked. Fire risk in vehicles is a significant safety hazard that meets the "Severe" threshold for structural vehicle defects with potential for serious injury or property damage.

Plain-English summary

International Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2018 International 4000 Series 4300, 2017–2025 MV, 2018–2024 1300 FBC, 2018–2025 IC Bus TC, and 2024–2025 IC Bus CECB vehicles. The brake pressure switch assembly may leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch's electrical components, causing an electrical short circuit.

An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire while driving or parked.

Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will install a silicone black jumper harness at no charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 15, 2025. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 23V397 will need to have the new remedy completed.
