- Navistar will notify owners and dealers will install a detection system to warn the driver prior to engine connecting rod failure, and engines with a defective connecting rod will be repaired, free of charge. The recall began July 8, 2020. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 20504.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| InternationalLT | 2018 to 2020 | Not published here |
| InternationalRH | 2019 to 2020 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 5,277 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
International vehicles have been recalled over the engine 2 times before this, most recently in November 2019 as 19V841000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V817000 (electrical system), 23V353000 (exterior lighting), 23V119000 (electrical system), 22V691000 (engine).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Navistar, Inc. with NHTSA on May 7, 2020 as campaign 20V255000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
