engine emissions exists in certain International®
HV™ Series, HX® Series, LT® Series and RH® Series
trucks built 15 March 2017 thru 24 September 2019
with 2017 thru 2019 model year International® A26
engines

DEFECT DESCRIPTION
This Emissions Recall applies to truck models that were built with 2017 thru 2019
model year International® A26 engines. Engine Control Module (ECM) calibration
update to reduce a false positive Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) for nitrogen
oxides (NOx) values when there is no malfunction with the NOx sensor or circuit.

MODELS INVOLVED
This Emissions Recall involves certain International® HV™ Series, HX® Series,
LT® Series and RH™ Series trucks built 15 March 2017 thru 24 September 2019
with 2017 thru 2019 model year International® A26 engines.

ELIGIBILITY
NOTE: If the vehicle you are working on is also marked for Safety Recall
18518, this Safety Recall must be performed before performing 19516.
Because the engine will be recalibrated under 18518, a processed claim for
18518 will clear 19516 for those that overlap. The Salmon Proof of
Correction certificate must be completed for 19516.
This procedure applies ONLY to vehicles marked in the International® Service
PortalSM with Emissions Recall 19516. Also complete any other open campaigns
listed on the Service Portal at this time.

UNITED STATES AND POSSESSIONS
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, provides that
each vehicle that is subject to a vehicle recall campaign must be adequately
repaired within a reasonable time after the owner has tendered it for repair. A
failure to adequately repair within 60 days after a tender of a vehicle is prima
facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not
adequately repaired within 60 days, the owner may be entitled to replacement
with an identical or reasonable equivalent vehicle at no charge, or to a refund of
the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
Dealers must correct all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to the
owner, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time
forward.
Dealers should proceed immediately to make necessary correction to units in
inventory. All inventory vehicles subject to this recall campaign must be
corrected prior to sale, transfer or delivery. If vehicles have been sold or
transferred and you are in receipt of Customer Notification Letters and
Authorization for Recall Service cards for those vehicles, the transfer location or
customer must be notified immediately from your dealer location.
Dealers must make every effort to promptly schedule an appointment with each
owner to repair his or her vehicle as soon as possible. However, consistent with
the customer notification, dealers are expected to complete the repairs on the
mutually agreed upon service date.
