International recalls 2019–2020 CV vehicles over brake wiring that could short circuit and weaken braking
The brake pressure switch harness may lack protective material on its wires, which can cause a short circuit and reduce brake performance, making stopping distances longer and a crash more likely.
What to do
Dealers will fix the brake pressure switch harness for free, and owners may call International customer service at 1-800-448-7825 and cite recall number 25521. Vehicles repaired under 23V282 and 25V414 still need this new repair.
