What's wrong?
The airbag sensing and diagnostic module on the 2025 International Cv is the control unit for the airbag system. It checks the restraint system, watches crash-related sensor inputs, and tells the airbags when deployment conditions are met. The airbag system depends on that module being activated during vehicle assembly.
On affected Cv trucks, software in certain module programming tools at the assembly plant was not properly configured. That left the airbag module inactive after installation, even though the hardware was present in the vehicle. An inactive module means the airbag system is not ready to operate as designed in a crash.
The warning sign is a continuously flashing Airbag Readiness Light. If that light keeps flashing, the airbag system is signaling that it is not functioning correctly.

What's the safety risk?
If the air bags are inactive, they will not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. A continuously flashing Airbag Readiness Light is a warning sign that the system is not working correctly. Schedule the repair soon and drive with extra caution until it is complete. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.
