2019–2020 International CV recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2019-2020 International CV vehicles. Due to a software error, the Antilock Braking System (ABS) malfunction indicator does not light when there is a loss of communication between the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) and the Body Control Module (BCM). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."

💥 The risk

If the malfunction warning does not light, the driver may not be aware of an inoperative ABS or Automatic Traction Control (ATC) system, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will program the BCM software with a new calibration, free of charge. This recall began July 20, 2020. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 20505.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
