What this recall means for you
Certain International heavy trucks, covering a range of model years, may have back-up lights that are hard to see when the vehicle is in reverse or in bobtail mode (driving without a trailer). The lights may also be partly obstructed, and these vehicles do not meet the visibility requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.
If back-up lights are not clearly visible, other drivers and pedestrians may not realize the truck is backing up, which increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the existing rear stop and turn signal lights at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed May 6, 2024. You can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 and reference recall number 23514, or check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
