⚠️ What's wrong
International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2025 EMV vehicles. A circuit breaker may be missing, causing the defrosting system to be inoperative.

💥 The risk
An inoperative windshield defrosting system may decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

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.)
