New Warranty Now in Effect

Fleetrite parts are engineered to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards and are now backed by an extended warranty. Parts purchased on or after April 1, 2025, at any IC Bus dealership or Fleetrite store in the U.S. or Canada will include a minimum 18-month, unlimited mileage warranty.

"We are thrilled to announce an extension of our parts warranty from 12 to 18 months," said Fabio Souza, executive vice president, Service Solutions, International. "This change reflects our unwavering commitment to quality and reliability, ensuring our customers receive the best possible support for their fleet needs. This longer warranty period is a testament to International's commitment to providing an unrivaled customer experience."

If a Fleetrite part fails due to defects in material or workmanship, it will be replaced free of charge at any authorized dealer location. If the part was installed by an authorized dealer, both the part and labor are covered. If installed elsewhere, only the part is covered.

Expanded Access and New Incentives for Customers

Fleetrite parts, including brakes, filters, batteries, and shock absorbers, are available at more than 700 locations across the U.S. and Canada, as well as online at RepairLinkShop.com.

From April 1 to December 31, 2025, the Fleet Charge program is offering a 2% credit back on Fleetrite purchases for select customers. Eligible purchases may be made through RepairLink, International or IC Bus dealers, Fleetrite stores, or participating Love’s or Speedco Travel Stop locations. More information is available at FleetCharge.com.

"In addition to reliable parts and guaranteed pricing, we're excited to offer this 2% account credit incentive that customers can put back into their businesses," Souza added.
