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: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting the critical brake system that could prevent brake release while driving, increasing crash risk. Although no injuries have been reported, the defect meets the Severe threshold under the rubric criterion of 'structural vehicle defect.'

Plain-English summary

International Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2025 RH and 2024, 2025, and 2026 LT trucks. The Hill Start Assist (HSA) exhaust port may become clogged, which can delay or prevent the release of the service brakes.

When brakes remain engaged while driving, the truck cannot brake normally, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

A total of 1,129 trucks are affected. Owners were notified by mail on September 22, 2025. Dealers will relocate the HSA valve exhaust at no cost. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825 for repair scheduling. International's internal recall number is 25508.
