   Service Brakes, Air

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2019 International HX, DuraStar, WorkStar, HV, LoneStar, LT, MV, and RH vehicles, and IC Bus HC, CE, and RE vehicles equipped with long stroke brake chambers and spring actuated parking brakes. The spring actuated parking brake may be improperly crimped to the long stroke service brake chamber, causing a service brake air leak and the possible separation of the spring brake chamber from the service brake section.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   An air leak or separation of the spring brake chamber can increase the needed stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake chamber assemblies from the suspected lot, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 18512.

In certain driving conditions, such as on a long down-hill grade, the fuel line may burst if the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road resulting in a roadway hazard for other motorists. The engine may also stall without warning, resulting in the vehicle's inability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.
