International truck control units can lose ABS and stability control

International is recalling certain 2016-2026 trucks with Bendix 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, removing braking and stability control.

Plain-English summary

International Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2016 7600, 2016-2023 Lonestar, 2018 8600, 2018-2023 LT, 2021-2026 MV, 2022-2023 RH, 2023-2026 HX and 2025-2026 HV vehicles. About 678 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 free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 19, 2026. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
