“Navistar 2022-2024 International Trucks: Engine Movement Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated August 19, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/81413-navistar-2022-2024-international-trucks-engine-movement-risk. Based on NHTSA recall #23V120000 (https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=23V120000).

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on Feb. 23, 2023, for certain International HV, MV trucks and IC Bus TC commercial buses due to unexpected vehicle movement risks.

How to tell if you have it

  • IC BUS TC, 2022-2023

Dealers will update the Cummins ECM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 24, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825.

The hazard

When the parking brake is applied and the stationary power take-off switch is engaged, the engine may rev and overcome the parking brake's ability to keep the vehicle from moving. This unexpected vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
