More than 15,000 International MV and International HV trucks are being recalled due to a potential short battery-cable short circuit.
On the recalled vehicles, manufacturing variations can cause the battery interconnect cable to contact the auxiliary stud and hold down the bracket.
When contact between these components occurs, a short circuit can develop, which may generate excessive heat and potentially a fire.

MV trucks from model years 2021, and 2023 through 2027 are being recalled.
