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

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2018-2021 International LoneStar and 2016-2021 International LT vehicles. The cables that connect the batteries to the vehicle frame may become excessively hot, and in some cases, cause battery post separation.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Excessively hot battery ground cables may cause personal injury during battery maintenance repairs. In addition, a battery post that separates from the battery can result in an engine stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the alternator positive and ground cables, and relocate the alternator ground to the starter, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 26, 2022. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 22516.

    Exterior Lighting

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Life Line Emergency Vehicles (Life Line) is recalling one 2020 Ford F450 vehicle and one 2017 Navistar Durastar vehicle, equipped with 7x9 combination LED Stop-Tail-Turn reverse lights. The lights may be too bright, exceeding the maximum light output allowed which may adversely affect the vision of drivers. As such, these lamps fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    ECCO will provide a filter kit that will ensure the lights perform in the correct photometric intensity ranges, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 15, 2021. Owners may contact Life Line customer service at 1-563-578-3317 ext. 132.

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

(Navistar) is recalling certain 2016-2020 International LT and 2017-2018 Prostar 73-inch sleeper cab models equipped with feature code 07BKP or 07BKR (exhaust system with horizontal after treatment device and horizontal tailpipe mounted on right side). In the affected vehicles, the rear exhaust hanger bracket may crack, which can cause the forward hanger bracket to also crack. If both brackets crack, the exhaust tail pipe may detach from the vehicle.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the exhaust tail pipe detaches from the vehicle while being driven, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear exhaust hanger bracket and replace any forward bracket found cracked and any exhaust tailpipe found damaged, free of charge.
