International truck electronic control units can lose ABS and stability control

International is recalling certain 2021-2025 trucks with Bendix EC80 control units because electrical noise may cause the ECU to misprocess commands or stop working, disabling ABS and stability control.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: the source states ABS and Electronic Stability Control may be lost entirely on heavy trucks, which removes braking and stability control rather than degrading a convenience function.

Plain-English summary

International Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2021-2024 Lonestar, 2021-2025 RH, HV, MV, LT and HX, and 2022 PROSTAR vehicles equipped with Bendix EC80 Advanced Electronic Control Units. About 105,276 units are potentially affected.

Electrical noise and low signal to the power line carrier may cause the ECU to incorrectly process commands or stop working.

NHTSA states that safety systems depending on the ECU — Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control and the Collision Mitigation System — may have diminished or lost functionality, increasing the risk of a crash.

International will work with Bendix to reprogram the ECU software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 16, 2024. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825, referencing recall number 24515, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
