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 .

How this campaign compares
At 42,054 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
International vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 31 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V154000. 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), 25V178000 (service brakes, air), 23V353000 (exterior lighting), 22V546000 (electrical system).
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 April 6, 2023 as campaign 23V248000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
