Recall 20V-285: 2019–2020 International CV
Navistar, Inc. recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on May 20, 2020, covering about 2,805 vehicles.
The problem
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.
