2020 International Lt

The contact owns a 2020 International LT625 Truck. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced unintended braking. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance warning light illuminated; however, the contact stated there was no object nearby or in the roadway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where Forward Collision Avoidance sensors were recalibrated; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 290,000.

related complaint tracking number: 11442614 The engine crankcase ventilation pours large volumes of exhaust gases and oil vapors into the engine bay of the truck. This is a design flaw. The crankcase exhaust exits to the inside of the frame, at the front left of the engine, approximately central vertically under the hood. This continually fills the engine bay with exhaust gases and vapors. There is an attached video and pictures. A separate email will be sent to add this information to 11442614. Since the original complaint is related to the exhaust gases coming into the cab, and this one is about an actual flaw in the exhaust system allowing the venting of gases under the hood, it seemed to me that it would end up being a separate recall issue, even though directly related. Here is a link to thermal videos of the link on Onedrive: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApLkoRLyIsQVjlZpQq2cwOL7nHLP?e=OdSRyA If the video appears garbled, move the play slider back to the beginning and it should play correctly. The videos appear to have no problem on mobile devices. The picture with the colored boxes gives a 3 point approximation of the location of the leak; directly down from blue box, directly behind green box, and directly lateral to the yellow box. Other pics are of crankcase vent opening and its location on most Cummins engine equipped trucks.

This article provides service part information for replacing a cracked gauge cluster lens. Lens-and-bezel assemblies are available for Standard and Premium gauge clusters.

Feature code 0008TSJ for auto start stop is a feature that will allow you to preset values in the body controller to allow the truck to start when the battery voltage or engine oil temperature reaches the preset value. The engine will then run for a preset time after battery voltage is within programmed value (if the engine started for low voltage) or the engine will run until oil temperature reaches a programmed value (if the engine started for oil temperature).

Effective January 1, 2008 , engines built for vehicles registered in California or a CARB (Air Resources Board of California) opt-in state must be emission certified under the new California Idle Reduction Rule (CCR Title 13 Section 1956.8(a)(6)). A CARB opt-in state is any state other than California that requires CARB emission certified engines. The new ruling states that new diesel-powered vehicles with a GVWR greater than 14,000 lbs and a MY2008 or later engine that are initially registered in California must have a tamper-proof engine shutdown system (ESS) or a low NOx idle main engine unless it is a vocationally exempted vehicle.

This article provides guidance to dealership personnel, Technical Services personnel, Dealer Service Managers (DSMs), and Compliance personnel when a vehicle is identified as having an aftertreatment delete or emissions system tampering by use of non-certified aftermarket emission parts.

This article only applies to Models w/ 0016UZL Built Between 06/23/2014 – 05/11/2020 OR Models w/ 0016UZL w/ Safety Recall 14516 Completed Reference the appropriate Technician Manual for models outside of this population. Safety Recall 14516 has been issued for units built before June 23, 2014. For LT and 2018+ LoneStar: If there is a complaint of the bunk blower turning off after an auto start event, the BCM needs to be updated to Data Version 323 or higher. • The bunk blower turning off was only present in BCM Data Version 309 to Data Version 322 To properly diagnose the system, you must ensure the recall has been performed. Only the "Cold Loop" sealed refrigerant core PN # 2614669C1 is to be replaced when the refrigerant circuit fails. DO NOT REPLACE THE COMPLETE UNIT IF THE A/C IS NOT FUNCTIONING. Complete unit is not Warrantable Refer to the BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING below before replacing any components. This will help you identify which component is at fault or any electrical issues. Refer to PARTS INFORMATION to properly identify the parts that may require replacement The A/C portion of the system is listed below in the parts section. The 16UZL No-Idle HVAC system is designed to disengage when the engine is started, and can be turned on with the key in any position. This battery-powered no-idle HVAC system provides heating and cooling of the sleeper area without use of the vehicle engine. The system is comprised of the no-idle HVAC components located in the sleeper HVAC module, a separate fuel-operated coolant heater mounted under the sleeper, and four additional batteries housed in a second battery box. The no-idle HVAC system shares the air handling assembly and several major components with the truck's standard HVAC system. Most importantly, the shared evaporator core contains refrigerant circuits for both the no idle system and the truck's standard A/C system. With this configuration, some procedures required to service the no idle A/C system will require opening the refrigerant circuit of the truck's standard A/C system. Trucks equipped with the 16UZL No-Idle HVAC system have two separate HVAC systems (Standard Truck A/C and the MaxxPower unit); it is important to identify each clearly, so you are troubleshooting the correct system. Per the Operator's Manual page 10: Run the heater at least once a month during the year (for a minimum of 15 minutes).

This document will guide the user through the changes of the dielectric grease/coatings used in certain areas on all International vehicles built after 1/8/2018. International's Electrical Engineering Team made this change to improve the longevity of the OEM coatings and to improve applications at the factory.
