11,000 International trucks recalled for parking brake problem that could cause crash

International Motors, LLC, has recalled thousands of newer-model trucks for a problem related to the parking brake system that could increase the risk of a crash.

The recall affects 11,418 International trucks, with an estimated 100% of recalled vehicles having the defect.

According to recall documents issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on November 20, 2025, “Under certain conditions, the auto neutral function of the transmission may not recognize the application of the park brake. If the transmission does not recognize that the park brake is applied, it can remain in gear. If the transmission remains in gear while the service brakes are not applied, the engine’s Initial Vehicle Movement Mode (IVM) may begin to apply torque to the driveline, possibly causing the vehicle to move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.”

See below for makes and model years of the recalled vehicles.

In order to remedy the defect, dealers will replace the quick release valve on the rear axle, free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on January 19, 2026.
