What's wrong?
The taillight jumper harness on a 2025 International Lt is the short wiring assembly that connects the truck's rear lighting circuits to the taillamp assembly. It carries the electrical signal for the stop lamps, tail lamps, backup lamps, and turn signals so the rear lights match the driver's controls.
On the recalled trucks, wires for the rear turn signal circuits were installed in the wrong connector cavities. That reverses the turn signal command at the rear of the truck, so the rear signal flashes on the opposite side from the turn the driver selected. A driver intending to signal left can show a right turn signal to traffic behind the truck.
A proper pre-trip inspection is the warning sign. When the operator checks the rear lights before driving, the rear turn signals will show the mismatch between the control input and the lamp that flashes.

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 a turn signal fails or shows the wrong indication, other road users can misread your next move, increasing the risk of a crash. A pre-trip inspection should catch the problem before the vehicle goes out. Schedule the harness replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 International Lt is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised International dealer to schedule the free taillight jumper harness replacement that corrects reversed turn-signal wiring.
- Bring the recall notice if International has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V180 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Use extra space before turning or changing lanes because the turn signal can show the wrong direction.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an International technician replaces the taillight jumper harness covered by recall 24V180. The repair addresses reversed wires in the harness so the turn signal matches the direction the driver selected. The replacement part and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a related taillight harness repair before the owner notice, Navistar's standard reimbursement plan applies. Follow the reimbursement instructions included in the customer notification and keep any repair documentation tied to the earlier work.
