What's wrong?
The automatic transmission in the 2010-2011 International 4300 uses an Eaton hybrid transmission with a park feature. That park feature is the transmission lock that is supposed to hold the truck in place after the driver selects park. It works with internal transmission parts while the truck shifts between drive, reverse, and park.
On affected trucks, the reverse idler shaft sits close enough to the park feature that the parts can touch each other. If the shaft contacts the park mechanism, the two components can bind. When that happens, the park feature does not engage as intended, so the transmission does not provide the holding action the driver selected.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver can select park and believe the truck is secured, even though the park feature has not fully engaged inside the transmission.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2010 and 2011 model years for the 4300, with the same automatic-transmission component listed for each year.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific truck.
What's the safety risk?
A park feature that fails to engage can let the vehicle move without warning, increasing the risk of injury or a crash. Before leaving the 4300, confirm it is secured and schedule the recall repair promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2011 International 4300 is included in this recall.
- Call International customer service at 1-260-461-1890 to confirm the current repair path before scheduling service.
- Ask about the free Eaton transmission repair that fixes the park feature so the truck does not move after parking.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 10V318 when you call.
- Set the parking brake every time you park the truck until the transmission repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an International service advisor confirms the VIN, then coordinates the transmission park feature recall work with Eaton Corporation. The filing says Eaton performs the remedy free of charge, but it does not describe the exact part replacement or adjustment. Ask the service desk what Eaton will inspect or replace on the Eaton hybrid transmission before the truck is released. Parts and labor are covered under the recall once the repair is available through the service process.
