2019–2020 International CV trucks are affected; the recall concerns trucks for which previous recall repairs (recall nos. 2023-238 and/or 2025-336) may not have been completed correctly, and brake fluid can be present in the brake pressure switch and wire harness. That condition can short circuit the brake switch and cause wiring to overheat, creating a fire risk even when the truck is parked and turned off. International Motors advises parking trucks outdoors away from other vehicles or structures until repairs are completed; owners will be notified by mail and asked to take their truck to an authorized service facility to replace the wire harness.
