International is recalling 2025-2026 IC Bus CECB commercial buses because a tire may damage an air line, causing the parking brake to activate unintentionally while driving.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (air line damage) that causes unintended parking brake activation, which the source states increases the risk of a crash. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (implied by crash risk), warranting a Severe rating.
