What's wrong?
The driver's seat belt tether on the 2024 International Hv and Mv trucks is the anchor hardware that holds the driver's belt at its mounting point. The belt depends on that anchor and bolt to sit squarely, so the webbing can move and hold the driver as designed during hard braking or a crash.
On affected trucks, the tether anchor was not positioned correctly on the bolt shoulder before the bolt was tightened. That leaves the bolt not fully seated in the anchor and creates a bind at the anchor point. A bound joint restricts the movement the seat belt hardware needs, which means the installed belt assembly is not the same as the corrected assembly.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is in how the anchor and bolt sit together, so an owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a clear symptom from the driver's seat.
Who's affected?
The Hv and Mv truck lines share the same seat belt tether assembly involved in this recall.

What's the safety risk?
An improperly anchored seat belt tether can keep the belt from restraining an occupant as intended, increasing injury risk in a crash. There is no warning sign to check for, so confirm your VIN and schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 International Hv or Mv is included in this recall.

- Bring the recall notice if International mailed one, or reference recall number 24V026 when you call.
- Ask the dealer whether the truck should stay out of service until inspection if the driver's belt feels bound or does not move normally.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an International technician inspects the driver's seat belt tether bolt and anchor area, then replaces the seat belts as needed. The recall repair is available, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid for a related seat belt repair before the owner letter, Navistar's reimbursement plan applies. Follow the reimbursement instructions included with the customer notification, and keep repair invoices or payment records for the claim.
