The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall of nearly 14,000 International medium-duty trucks for possible problems with the headlights.

International 4300 and 4400 models from the 2001 model year, made between October 2000 and September 2001, could experience a loss of the low beam headlights, the high beam headlights, or both.
A software problem within the Electrical System Controller can cause the circuit for the low beam or the circuit for the high beam headlights to fuse or open, resulting in loss of either the low or high beam headlights or possibly even both. A headlight fusing condition could occur without warning to the driver and potentially leave the driver in a blackout situation while operating the vehicle in the dark.
Dealers will reprogram the ESC. Owner notification began in October. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact International at 1-800-448-7825.
