- The defect
- International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2026 MV vehicles. The battery interconnect cable may contact the auxiliary stud and hold down bracket, causing a short circuit.
- What it can cause
- A short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install three wind laces on the battery hold down and add a J-bolt between each battery to ensure 3 mm of terminal clearance, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 10, 2025. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 25513.
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 .

How this campaign compares
At 1,175 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
International vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 33 times before this, most recently in October 2024 as 24V818000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V459000 (electrical system), 26V084000 (service brakes), 25V817000 (electrical system), 25V702000 (power train).
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 International Motors, LLC with NHTSA on August 21, 2025 as campaign 25V534000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
