What's wrong?
The passenger side windshield wiper linkage on 2008-2011 International Lonestar and Prostar trucks is the set of rods and pivot points that transfers motion from the wiper motor to the wiper arm. When the driver turns on the wipers, the linkage keeps the passenger side blade moving across the glass so rain, spray, and road grime are cleared from that side of the windshield.
In affected trucks, the passenger side linkage rod can separate from either the wiper drive arm or the passenger side pivot assembly. Once that rod separates, the motor can keep running while the passenger side blade stops moving or moves out of sync. That leaves part of the windshield uncleared, which limits forward visibility in rain or road spray under NHTSA campaign 10V383.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is most likely to notice the problem when the passenger side wiper stops sweeping the windshield during use.

Prostar appears in the 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 model years; Lonestar appears in the 2009, 2010, and 2011 model years. Each listed truck has the same wiper system component.

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?
If the windshield wiper linkage separates, the passenger side wiper arm stops working. That reduces driver visibility in rain or spray and increases the risk of a crash. Schedule the repair soon, especially before driving in wet weather. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2011 International Lonestar or Prostar is included in this recall.
- Wait for International's owner notice if you have not received one before scheduling service.
- Contact a franchised International dealer about the free windshield wiper linkage assembly replacement, which fixes the passenger-side wiper linkage separation.
- Reference recall number 10V383 when you call the dealer or International customer service.
- Avoid driving in rain, snow, or dirty-road conditions until the passenger-side wiper linkage repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Because this page does not show a current remedy status, treat the final repair as not confirmed for scheduling until an International dealer verifies your VIN. What is known is the repair itself: an International technician replaces the windshield wiper linkage assembly, the linkage that connects the wiper drive arm to the passenger side pivot. The dealer repair will be free once available. If your truck is included, ask the service desk whether parts are open for campaign 10V383 before arranging the visit.
