2017-2025 International Mv/Tc Recall 25V502: Brake Leak

Recall 25V502 covers 4,764 2017-2025 International Mv, Cecb, 1300FBC, 4000 Series 4300, and Tc vehicles for brake-switch shorts. Park outside. Free repair at franchised International dealers.

What's wrong?

The brake pressure switch assembly on the 2017-2025 International Mv, Cecb, 1300FBC, 4000 Series 4300, and Tc vehicles reads hydraulic brake pressure. It sends an electrical signal so the brake system and related warning circuits know when pressure is present. The switch depends on a diaphragm seal to keep brake fluid away from its electrical side.

On affected vehicles, brake fluid can pass beyond that diaphragm seal and enter the pressure switch. From there, fluid can seep into the switch's electrical components and into wiring near the fuse holder. That contamination can short the brake pressure switch, which turns a hydraulic brake part into an electrical fault point.

An owner can see a "service brake system" malfunction indicator lamp before the fault is found. Until the recall remedy is performed, International advised affected owners to park their vehicles outdoors.

Who's affected?

Spans Mv, Cecb, 1300FBC, 4000 Series 4300, and Tc vehicles across the 2017-2025 model years, all tied to the hydraulic brake system.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire while driving or parked. A service brake system light is a warning sign. Park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.

What should I do?

1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2025 International Mv, Cecb, 1300FBC, 4000 Series 4300, or Tc is included in this recall.
2. Park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete.
3. Contact a franchised International dealer to schedule the free silicone black jumper harness installation that helps prevent a brake pressure switch electrical short.
4. Bring the recall notice if International has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V502 when you call.
5. Tell the dealer if the vehicle was previously repaired under 23V397; it still needs the new remedy completed.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an International technician installs a silicone black jumper harness to address the brake pressure switch electrical short circuit issue. Owners are still advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. The recall repair is free, and vehicles previously repaired under 23V397 still need this new remedy completed. International used its general reimbursement plan on file for this recall. If you already paid for a related repair before the recall notice, bring documentation and ask International customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit a claim.
