International recall: Exterior lighting
What is wrong
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2019 International MV and 2018-2019 International HV trucks equipped with option for combined trailer stop and turn lights. When a trailer is connected to one of the affected vehicles, the trailer brake lights may not illuminate when the truck's brakes are used.
What could happen
If the trailer brake lights fail to illuminate, other drivers may not be warned of the vehicle slowing, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the trailer brake light circuits from the trailer turn signal circuits to the vehicle brake light circuits, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 18514.
