The defect was discovered when it was found that the buses, equipped with halogen headlights, deactivate the low beam when the high beam is engaged. This malfunction could reduce visibility in certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash. The issue was identified after a Department of Transportation (DOT) Annual Inspection failure reported by a customer on February 26, 2025. Following the report, International Motors took immediate action, including a halt in the delivery of buses with halogen headlamps and a thorough review of the headlamp photometric test results.
By March 5, 2025, corrected programming was implemented at the IC Bus Tulsa Assembly Plant, and all affected vehicles on hold were updated with the corrected software. The company officially declared a non-compliance recall on March 13, 2025, after finalizing the identification of the suspect population.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
To remedy the issue, International Motors plans to reprogram the body control module (BCM) to ensure the low beams remain activated when the high beams are engaged. Customers will receive reimbursement instructions, and the company’s plan for pre-notification remedies, on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) since June 7, 2024, will apply. Dealer notification letters are scheduled to be mailed by May 12, 2025, followed by customer notification letters on May 19, 2025.
International Motors is advising bus operators and dealers to ensure vehicles receive the necessary software update to prevent potential safety hazards associated with the malfunctioning headlamp system.
