What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2019 International Lt, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Brakes
Reports naming service brakes, the antilock braking system, brake hoses, master cylinders or the parking brake.
From owner reports, verbatim
INTERNATIONAL LT SERIES WITH EATON ENDURANT TRANSMISSION. EATON ENDURANT TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL WHEN AIR BRAKE SYSTEM IS BELOW 100 PSI TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION. THE LT AIR GOVERNOR DOES NOT TURN AIR COMPRESSOR BACK ON UNTIL 95 PSI OF AIR. LEAVES DRIVERS STUCK ON ROAD, WHILE AT INTERSECTIONS OR HILLS. IT DOES NOT TAKE MORE THAN TWO OR THREE BRAKE APPLICATIONS ON A LOADED TRACTOR TRAILER TO BRING AIR SYSTEM FROM 125 PSI OF AIR TO 100 PSI OF AIR. I'VE HAD TO ADVISE MY DRIVERS THAT IF THEY LOSE ENOUGH AIR, THEY SHOULD SEE IF THEY'RE BELOW 95 PSI OR IN THE 96-100 PSI ZONE WHERE TRUCK WILL NOT BUILD ADDITIONAL AIR PRESSURE. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE.
