What's wrong?
The headlight low beam on the 2013-2015 International Workstar is the forward lighting setting used for normal night driving and low-visibility conditions. Its connector carries power and ground through separate circuits so the bulb receives the right electrical path and produces the light output the lamp was designed to give.
On affected Workstar trucks, the low beam and ground circuits were reversed at the headlight connector. That wiring error changes how current moves through the bulb, which reduces low-beam light output. The headlight still belongs to the exterior lighting system, but it does not perform to the required lighting standard when the connector is wired backward.
Because the problem is in the connector wiring, it is not the same as a burned-out bulb or a cloudy lens. There is no warning sign before failure. The practical sign is reduced light from the low beams when they are on.

Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the service desk should handle the repair through the recall campaign rather than billing you for the harness correction.
