Recall 10V107 covers 29,460 2008-2011 International trucks with jump-start-stud corrosion that can short and cause a vehicle fire. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.
International is recalling 29,460 2008-2011 International trucks, including the 4300 and Prostar, because corrosion at an optional jump start stud can create an electrical short between the stud and battery box. That short raises the risk of a vehicle fire; the dealer repair will be free once International makes it available.

What's wrong?
The optional jump start stud on certain 2008-2011 International trucks is an external electrical terminal tied into the battery system. It gives a service technician a connection point for jump starting, while the battery box keeps the batteries mounted and protected. The stud has to stay electrically separated from the metal battery box around it.
On affected trucks, corrosion forms at the base of the jump start stud. Corrosion conducts electricity and breaks down the separation that the battery system needs. When that happens, the energized stud can short against the battery box instead of staying isolated at the terminal.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver should not count on a light, sound, or starting problem to appear before the electrical short occurs.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
An electrical short can start a vehicle fire. Because the issue involves fire risk, schedule the recall repair soon and ask the dealer about the jump start stud and connecting cable before using that connection. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2011 International truck is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised International dealer and ask whether the free jump start stud repair is open for recall number 10V107.
- Ask the dealer to install the new jump start stud, which fixes the corroded stud connection that can short against the battery box.
- Bring the recall notice if International mailed one, and give the service desk recall number 10V107 when you call.
- Park away from structures until the dealer confirms the electrical short and fire risk has been repaired.
What happens at the repair
International has established a final remedy for the jump start stud defect. At the dealer, an International technician installs a new jump start stud to address the short risk at the battery box. If the final repair is not ready for your truck when you call, the interim action is to remove the jump start stud and its connecting cable. The dealer repair is free once available. Ask the International service desk to confirm which repair applies to your VIN before the truck is brought in.
