Owners may contact International's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 26505. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning June 1, 2026.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
