2025 International Emv: Visibility recall

What's wrong

International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2025 EMV vehicles. A circuit breaker may be missing, causing the defrosting system to be inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 103, "Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems."

Why it matters

An inoperative windshield defrosting system may decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will install a 5A circuit breaker and a label, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 17, 2025. Owners may contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825. International's number for this recall is 24518.
