Recall 23V171 covers 24 2023 International Lt, Hv, Hx, Rh, and Lonestar vehicles for a park-valve defect. Free repair once International opens it.
International is recalling 24 2023 Lt, Hv, Hx, Rh, and Lonestar vehicles because the Intellipark Tractor Park Valve Module can stick in the un-parked position and fail to shift into park when the switch is activated. That failure can let the vehicle roll away and increase crash risk; the International dealer repair will be free once International opens the final remedy.

What's wrong?
The Park Valve Module, or PVM, is part of the electronic parking brake system on 2023 International Lt, Hv, Hx, Rh, and Lonestar trucks. In normal operation, the driver pulls the park switch, and the module manages air pressure so the spring brakes exhaust and move the truck into park. The system depends on the valve responding cleanly each time the switch is activated.
On affected trucks, mechanical parts inside the PVM sit at the upper edge of the design specification. Combined tolerances inside the valve allow too much internal air leakage. When the pilot solenoid is activated, pressure does not build the right way, so the module can stay in the un-parked position instead of moving into park.
Owners have warning signs to watch for. The park switch LEDs stay off after the switch is pulled, the normal air exhaust sound is missing, and the dash display shows alerts that the truck has not parked.
Who's affected?
Covers five International truck models from the 2023 model year, all using the same Park Valve Module.
| 2023 International Lt | Parking brake |

| Units affected | 24 |

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?
If the Park Indication LEDs stay off after you pull the park switch, or the usual air exhaust sound is missing, treat the vehicle as not parked. A PVM that fails to move into park can let the vehicle roll away, increasing crash risk. Set parking precautions and schedule service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once International opens it.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 International Lt, Hv, Hx, Rh, or Lonestar is included in this recall.
- Watch for the International owner letter if you have not received it, and keep your contact information current with International customer service.
- Contact a franchised International dealer to ask when the free Intellipark PVM replacement is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 23V171 and International recall 23508 when you call the dealer or International customer service.
- Set the parking brake carefully and confirm the truck is secured before leaving the cab until the Intellipark PVM repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Because this recall is still listed with an interim remedy status, confirm parts and timing with an International dealer before planning the repair visit. The final dealer repair is replacement of the Intellipark Tractor Park Valve Module, free once available. At the dealer, an International technician replaces the PVM so the parking valve can move into the park position when the switch is activated. Navistar's standard reimbursement plan applies to qualifying repairs completed before the owner notice. Follow the reimbursement instructions included in the customer notification and keep proof of payment and repair paperwork.
