What's wrong?
The transverse torque arm on 2023 International Re and Ce commercial buses is part of the rear suspension. It helps hold the rear axle in position so the axle stays centered under the bus body as the suspension moves over the road. The bolts and hex nuts at the axle end clamp that arm tightly to the rear axle housing.
On these buses, the assembly tool told the operator the joint had reached the correct tightening value when it had not. That left the axle-side fasteners loose or missing after the bus entered service. When that joint loses clamp force, the torque arm no longer holds the rear axle firmly, and the axle can move side to side.
Drivers can notice a loose feeling from the rear of the bus or a metallic clunking noise. During a pre-trip or post-trip inspection, the rear axle can also appear off-center compared with the bus body.
Who's affected?

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific bus.
What's the safety risk?
A rear axle that shifts side to side can reduce handling and control, increasing crash risk. It can also make the bus unstable during an emergency evacuation, increasing injury risk. Watch for a loose driving feel, rear metallic clunking, or an axle that is not centered. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 International Re or Ce commercial bus is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised International dealer to schedule the free fastener replacement and tightening that secures the transverse torque arm to the rear axle housing.
- Bring the recall notice if International has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V910 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and stop using the bus if handling feels unstable.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an International technician replaces the fasteners that connect the transverse torque arm to the rear axle housing and tightens them to the proper specification. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid out of pocket for this fastener-related repair before the owner letter, International's standard reimbursement plan applies. Use the reimbursement instructions in the owner letter and keep your repair documentation for the claim.
