   Engine and Engine Cooling

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Navistar is recalling certain model year 2003 through 2008 heavy trucks manufactured between april 1, 2003 and december 21, 2007, equipped with caterpillar c15 engines. The variable valve actuation (vva) oil line may wear against the p-clips retaining the oil line, causing an oil leak.

   An oil leak could result in a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Navistar is working with caterpillar to repair the engines free of charge. Please see 09e-020. The safety recall began on october 23, 2009. Owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986 or navistar at 1-260-461-1890.

   Report filed by NAVISTAR, INC. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 13 Oct 2009.

2. 09V195000Received 1 Jun 2009. 45 units.

   Electrical System / 12v/24v/48v Battery / Cables

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Navistar is recalling 45 model year 2007 through 2010 heavy duty trucks manufactured between january 1, 2007 and may 15, 2009 equipped with feature code 008875 sealed battery cables. The plastic cover that seals the terminal of the cab feed battery cable may prevent proper electrical contact with the fuse or battery terminal post resulting in an open or unprotected circuit.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   An open circuit may result in sudden loss of cab power or engine shut down, possibly resulting in a crash. An unprotected circuit may cause an electrical short which could result in a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Navistar will notify owners and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on july 3, 2009. Owners may contact navistar at 1-260-461-1890.

   Report filed by NAVISTAR, INC. Manufacturer campaign number 09503. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 3 Jul 2009.

3. 07V374000Received 22 Aug 2007. 49 units.

   Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine / Diesel

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks built with cummins ism c876 engines, the electronic control module fails to recognize inputs of the vehicle electronic control unit or from a driver actuated dash switch thereby increasing the risk of unintended (or unexpected) elevated exhaust temperatures.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   While this condition does not involve a risk of fire in the vehicle itself, it could present a fire hazard in a situation where the vehicle's exhaust is in close proximity to materials or substances that can melt, burn, or explode.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Cummins, in conjunction with international, will conduct the remedy campaign. Cummins will install new ecm software. Owners can contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or international at 1-800-448-7825.

   Report filed by INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION. Manufacturer campaign number 07512.

4. 06V384000Received 11 Oct 2006. 87 units.

   Suspension

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain trucks equipped with chalmers rear suspensions, the adjustable torque rod end castings may be brittle. A brittle rod end casting may fracture without warning, causing the vehicles' rear axles to become misaligned.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This misalignment can cause the vehicle to lose directional stability at speeds that may result in a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine if they were manufactured with a suspect torque rod end. If a suspect torque rod end is found, the entire torque rod will be replaced. The recall began on october 6, 2006. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

   Report filed by INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION. Manufacturer campaign number 06509.
