2019 International Mv Recall

On certain trucks, poor signal strength could cause the electronic control unit (ECU) to stop working or not to work properly. As a result, some safety systems may not work, including the antilock braking system, automatic traction control, electronic stability control, active cruise control and the collision mitigation system. Note: This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2024-655.

Vehicle safety systems that don't work correctly could increase the risk of a crash.

International Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to reprogram the ECU software.

On certain vehicles, brake fluid may be present in the brake pressure switch and wire harness. As a result, the brake switch could short circuit. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 23517 (Transport Canada recall no. 2023-321). Certain vehicles repaired under that recall require a second repair.

A short circuit can cause wiring to overheat and create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.

To reduce the safety risk, International Motors advises that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed. International Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to an authorized service facility to replace the brake pressure switch and wire harness.

On certain vehicles with hydraulic brakes, the brake pressure switch could leak. If this happens, the brake switch could short circuit.

A short circuit can cause wiring to overheat and create the risk of a fire.

Navistar will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to an authorized service facility to replace the brake pressure switch. If there is brake fluid found on the brake pressure switch connector or fuse, the wire harness will also be replaced.

On certain trucks equipped with an automatic transmission and the auto neutral feature, when the engine RPM increases for the stationary power take off (PTO), it can overcome the parking brake if the transmission is in drive or reverse gear. As a result, the truck may move suddenly.

Sudden and unexpected movement of the truck could increase the risk of a crash.

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the body control module (BCM) software.

On certain trucks, the fuel rail assembly could develop a leak. Note: This recall only affects trucks equipped with a Cummins L9 or ISX12 diesel engine.

A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.

Cummins will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a Cummins authorized service center to inspect the fuel rail. If damage is found, the fuel rail and fuel lines will be replaced. If no damage is found, the fuel rail will be reassembled with new crush washers.

On certain trucks equipped with an automatic transmission, when the engine RPM increases for the stationary power take off (PTO), it can overcome the parking brake if the transmission is in drive or reverse gear. As a result, the truck may move suddenly.

Sudden and unexpected movement of the truck could increase the risk of a crash.

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the engine control module software to enable the PTO neutral interlock.

On certain vehicles equipped with a Cummins B6.7 diesel engine, the electric fuel heater could overheat and melt. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall 2019-148. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.

A fuel heater that overheats could create the risk of a fire. This could also cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Cummins authorized service center to disable the fuel heater. The fuel heater will be replaced by installing a plug in its place. Additionally, the fuse supplying electrical power to the fuel heater will be removed and a cover will also be installed over the wire harness connector.

On certain trucks equipped with an automatic transmission, when the engine RPM increases for the stationary power take off (PTO), it can overcome the parking brake if the transmission is in drive or reverse gear. As a result, the truck may move suddenly.

Sudden and unexpected movement of the truck could increase the risk of a crash.

On certain vehicles equipped with a Cummins B6.7 diesel engine, the electric fuel heater could overheat and melt.

A fuel heater that overheats could create the risk of a fire. This could also cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Cummins service location to install a new fuel heater and correct the wiring to the fuel heater. Additionally, the fuel heater fuse will be changed to a 30 amp fuse, and the fuse size information in the owner’s manual will be updated.

On certain vehicles equipped with an electronic clutch actuator (ECA), the clutch may have been manufactured improperly and could fail. If this occurs, the broken clutch components could prevent the transmission from disengaging or shifting to neutral. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, even if the parking brake is applied, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will recalibrate the Transmission Control Module (TCM).

A failure of this component (powertrain) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).

On certain trucks, when a trailer is being towed, the combined stop and turn signal lights of the trailer may not illuminate when the brakes are applied. If this occurs, a following driver may not be alerted that the vehicle ahead is braking, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will re-wire the trailer brake light circuits on the trucks.

A failure of this component (lights and instruments) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).

On certain vehicles, the spring-actuated parking brake may have been improperly assembled. This could result in an internal air leak or a complete separation of the parking brake from the service brake chamber, either of which would cause a loss of braking on the affected wheel assembly. This could cause a sudden, unexpected increase in stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace affected brake chamber assemblies.

A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).

On certain vehicles, the seat belt D-ring mounting bolts may break due to a material defect. If this occurs, the seat belt may not properly restrain the seat occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the driver and passenger D-ring mounting bolts and replace them as necessary.

A failure of this component (seats and restraints) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
