Defect and consequence

Defect: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2019-2021 International MV, 2020-2021 International HV, 2014-2020 International DuraStar and 2015-2018 International WorkStar vehicles. When the parking brake is applied and the automatic transmission is still in the drive or reverse position and the stationary PTO switch is engaged by the operator, the engine may rev and overcome the parking brake's ability to keep the vehicle from moving.

Why it matters: Unexpected Vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will update the parameters in the Cummins ECM for feature codes 12VXT or 12VXU that enables the PTO neutral interlock, free of charge. The recall began February 17, 2021. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 20510.

Defect and consequence

Defect: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016 International DuraStar, LoneStar, ProStar, TerraStar, TranStar, WorkStar, 9900i, and IC Bus HC vehicles equipped with certain Spicer D or E series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.

Why it matters: If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 8, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall is 17507.

Defect and consequence

Defect: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2016 International PayStar trucks manufactured January 19, 2015, to January 20, 2015, and 2016 International WorkStar trucks manufactured on January 19, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with Meritor MT-40-14X rear drive axles that may circulate an inadequate amount of lubricant to the wheel end hub assembly.

Why it matters: Without adequate lubrication to the wheel end hub assembly, the bearings may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Navistar has already repaired the affected vehicles, free of charge. The recall was completed in April 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.

Defect and consequence

Defect: Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 International 9900, DuraStar, LoneStar, PayStar, ProStar, WorkStar and 2015 International TranStar and IC Bus CE vehicles equipped with a Haldex air braking system. The affected brake actuators may have been manufactured with an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism. This could cause dragging or overheated brakes.

Why it matters: If the brakes drag and overheat there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Haldex Life Seal Brake chambers, free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15504. Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V-806.
