2021 International HV recalls
Brake and stability systems may fail to work, raising crash risk
Certain International trucks have an antilock brake control module (Bendix EC80 electronic control unit) that can receive electrical noise or a weak signal.
ABS Warning Light May Not Stay On, Hiding Brake Faults
Certain 2021 IC Bus and International trucks and buses may have an anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light that does not stay illuminated when an ABS malfunction exists while the vehicle is moving with the ignition on.
Parking Brake May Fail to Hold During PTO Use
A software error in the Body Control Module on certain International HV, RH, MV, and HX trucks may allow the vehicle to overcome the parking brake while the power-take-off (PTO) is operating.
Engine Rod Can Crack and Shut Off Engine While Driving
The connecting rod wrist pin in the engine can crack, which can lead to connecting rod failure.
Fuel rail leak can cause fire in commercial trucks and buses
A sealing washer on the high-pressure fuel rail may not seat correctly in its bore holes, which can allow diesel fuel to leak from the fuel rail assembly.
Brake Valve May Fail, Causing Unintended Brake Application
A retainer inside the SC-3 single check valve of the air brake system may not be properly seated, so the valve may not isolate the air source when pressure is applied.
Engine can overpower parking brake, risking unexpected movement
On certain International DuraStar and WorkStar trucks, the engine control software may allow the engine to rev while the parking brake is applied, if the automatic transmission is in drive or reverse and the stationary PTO switch is engaged.
Trucks May Lack Reflective Tape, Raising Night Crash Risk
Certain 2021 International MV and HV trucks, equipped with specific fifth wheel options, may not have reflective tape applied to the upper contours of the cab.
Diesel Fuel Heater May Overheat, Melt and Catch Fire
The electric fuel heater inside the fuel module on certain diesel trucks and buses with Cummins B6.7 engines may overheat.
