What's wrong?
The windshield wiper module on the 2026 Ic Bus Cecb is the electric assembly that moves the wiper arm across the glass. Its crank shaft assembly changes motor rotation into the back-and-forth motion that clears rain, spray, and road grime from the driver's side of the windshield. For a commercial bus, that motion is basic visibility equipment.
On affected buses, the weld on the crank shaft assembly was not made properly. If that weld fails, the left-side wiper stops moving even though the rest of the module is still mounted in place. The problem traces to the supplier's welding process for suspect wiper modules, which were built with date codes tied to this recall.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first notice can be the left-side wiper failing to sweep the windshield when the driver turns the wipers on.

What's the safety risk?
An inoperative wiper reduces the driver's view through the windshield and increases the risk of a crash, especially in rain, snow, or road spray. If the wiper stops working or visibility is poor, pull over where safe and arrange service. Repair will be free at any franchised Ic Bus dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2026 Ic Bus Cecb is included in this recall.
- Call Ic Bus customer service at 1-800-448-7825 to confirm repair timing before you schedule dealer work.
- Contact a franchised Ic Bus dealer once the remedy opens to arrange the free windshield-wiper-module inspection and replacement that restores left-side wiper operation.
- Bring the owner letter if you received one. Reference recall number 25V641 when you call.
- Avoid driving in rain, snow, or low-visibility conditions until the left-side wiper works correctly.
What happens at the repair
Once Ic Bus opens the dealer repair, an Ic Bus technician will inspect the windshield wiper module and replace it if needed. The repair is free under the recall, with parts and labor covered. The defect involves the left-side wiper crank shaft assembly, so the inspection focuses on the wiper module that controls that side. International used its standard reimbursement plan for this campaign. If you already paid for a related wiper repair before the recall notice, bring repair records or receipts to the service desk and ask how to submit them for review.
