What's wrong?
The rear combination lamp on the 2019 International Rh and Lt trucks houses several rear lighting functions in one taillight assembly. Its back-up light is supposed to shine a compliant white light when the truck is in reverse, so people behind the truck can recognize that it is backing up.
On affected trucks, certain taillight assemblies were built with LEDs from the wrong color bin. That means the lamp can still turn on, but the white output falls outside the FMVSS 108 color range for back-up lights. The problem came from production lots supplied with LEDs that did not pass the required color test.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is a lighting compliance problem, not a part that gives the driver a symptom before it is found. An owner looking at the rear of the truck when it is in reverse is not expected to diagnose the color test issue by sight.
Who's affected?
Both the Rh and Lt models involve the rear combination lamp assembly used for tail, stop, turn, and back-up lighting.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect color backup lights make the vehicle harder for other drivers to see when backing up, which increases crash risk. There is no warning sign before the lighting issue is present, so confirm your VIN and schedule service if included. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 International Rh or Lt is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised International dealer to ask when the free backup-light inspection and replacement can be performed.
- Reference recall number 22V092 and International recall 22503 when you call.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, and ask the dealer to inspect the LED backup lights for the incorrect white color.
- Avoid backing near traffic until the repair is complete because the incorrect-color backup lights reduce visibility to other drivers.
What happens at the repair
The filing describes the dealer repair this way: once available, an International technician inspects the LED backup lights and replaces them if needed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Owner letters were mailed on April 1, 2022. Navistar's standard reimbursement plan applies to qualifying out-of-pocket repairs completed before the owner letter. Reimbursement instructions are included in the customer notification, so keep repair paperwork tied to the backup lights.
