2003-2010 International Truck/Bus Recall 10V267: High Idle

Recall 10V267 affects 2,085 2003-2010 International trucks and buses for sudden high idle after accelerator-sensor faults. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.

International is recalling 2,085 2003-2010 trucks and IC commercial buses, including 3200 and 4200 models, because certain VT365 engine calibrations can let engine speed jump to high idle after an accelerator position sensor fault. The sudden shift in vehicle position can cause property damage, injury, or death; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The accelerator position sensor circuit tells the engine controller what the driver is asking for with the pedal. On 2003-2010 International trucks and commercial buses with the affected VT365 engine calibration, that signal is part of the vehicle speed control system. When the signal is normal, the engine controller uses it to raise or lower engine speed in response to the pedal.

The problem starts when the accelerator position sensor circuit fails open, which means the controller loses the pedal signal. The engine is designed to respond by returning to low idle at 800 RPM and blocking the driver from increasing engine speed. On these vehicles, if that open circuit corrects itself within 30 seconds, the engine can jump to a higher idle at 1200 RPM without a new pedal command from the driver.

There is no warning sign before failure. The change happens inside the sensor circuit and engine calibration, so the driver gets no separate dashboard cue before the idle speed changes.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

This high-idle defect can happen without warning and cause a sudden, unexpected shift in vehicle position, which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Use extra care when shifting or maneuvering, and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2003-2010 International 3200, Ce, 1652SC, 4100, Sfc, 4200, 3300, Hccb, Be, Rxt, or Tsv is included in this recall.
  2. Contact your nearest franchised International dealer and ask whether the free engine-calibration repair is open for your VIN.
  3. Reference recall number 10V267 when you call so the dealer can match the sudden high-idle repair to your vehicle.
  4. Bring the recall notice if International mailed one, plus any service records tied to accelerator-position-sensor or idle-speed repairs.
  5. Avoid close-quarter maneuvering until the repair is complete. The defect can raise engine speed without warning and shift the vehicle position unexpectedly.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an International technician handles the recall repair tied to the VT365 engine calibration and the accelerator position sensor circuit response. The recall remedy does not identify a specific part replacement, inspection step, or time allowance. Navistar's notice says the safety recall began on July 1, 2010, and the dealer repair is free. Confirm the repair procedure with the International service desk when you schedule service.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 10V267?

Recall 10V267 covers 2,085 2003-2010 International trucks and IC commercial buses with VT365 engine calibration software that can let engine speed jump to high idle after an accelerator-position-sensor circuit fault clears. That sudden movement raises the risk of property damage, injury, or death.

What should I do if my 2003-2010 International vehicle is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific truck or bus is included in recall 10V267. If it is, contact a franchised International dealer and reference recall 10V267. The dealer repair is free, and Navistar listed 1-800-448-7825 for owner questions.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the safety defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says dealers will repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on July 1, 2010.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is sudden vehicle movement without warning. If the accelerator-position-sensor circuit fault clears within 30 seconds, engine speed can increase to high idle, creating an unexpected shift in vehicle position and increasing the risk of property damage, injury, or death.

What if I bought this International vehicle used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck or bus is included, then give recall 10V267 to the International dealer when you schedule service.
