2005-2011 International Trucks Recall 10V104: Brake ECU

RN
Reviewed by the RecallNotify editorial team
Published June 3, 2026

Recall 10V104 affects 87 2005-2011 International buses and trucks for parking-brake ECU software errors. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.

International is recalling 87 2005-2011 Ce, Hccb, and 3300 commercial buses and trucks because brake system ECU software can misread repeated ignition-switch cycling and release the parking brake. An unexpected shift in vehicle position raises the risk of property damage, injury, or death; the dealer repair will be free once International makes it available.

What's wrong?

On affected 2005-2011 International buses and trucks, the parking brake is controlled through brake system software. The brake system electronic control unit, or ECU, reads electrical signals from the ignition switch and brake system. Its job is to interpret those signals correctly so the parking brake stays applied when the vehicle is parked.

The defect is in how that ECU software reads a narrow ignition-switch pattern. If the ignition switch is cycled more than once at a specific frequency, the software reads the signals incorrectly. That wrong reading can release the parking brake even though the driver expected the brake to remain set.

There is no warning sign before failure. The problem depends on the ignition-switch signal pattern, so an owner is not given a dashboard light, sound, or brake feel change before the parking brake releases.

Who's affected?

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

When the parking brake releases, the vehicle can shift suddenly and unexpectedly. That movement can cause property damage, personal injury, or death. Treat any parking brake concern as a safety issue, secure the vehicle before service, and contact a franchised International dealer for recall instructions. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2005-2011 International Ce, Hccb, 3300, 4100, 4300, 3200, Be, Mxt, 1300, 4200, or 4400 is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised International dealer and ask whether the free brake-system ECU reprogramming is open for your VIN.
  3. Reference recall number 10V104 when you call, and bring the owner notice if you have it.
  4. Ask the dealer to reprogram the brake-system ECU so the parking brake does not release from misread ignition-switch signals.
  5. Park on level ground and set the parking brake carefully until the dealer confirms the repair is complete.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an International technician reprograms the brake system ECU so the parking brake signal logic reads ignition cycling correctly. The source remedy says this repair is performed free of charge, and the safety recall began on April 14, 2010. Because the current remedy status is not marked available here, confirm the open repair path before planning a service visit. The final dealer repair will be free once available. The work centers on software, not replacement of the parking brake hardware, unless the dealer finds another issue during normal service.
