International is recalling certain 2025-2026 HV, HX, LT, MV, RH and 2025 EMV vehicles because the linkage connecting the right-side wiper arm to the motor may separate, causing the wipers to fail.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported: wiper failure reduces visibility in wet conditions while the vehicle retains control, propulsion and braking, and no incidents are recorded.
