    Exterior Lighting / Back Up Lights

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2000-2003 International 8100, 2001-2003 International 9100i, 2001-2007 International 9400i, 2001-2010 International 9200i, 2002-2007, 2009 International 8500, 2003-2007, 2013 International 9900i, 2003-2018 International 8600, 2004, 2007 International 9900iX, 2008-2018 International ProStar, 2010-2011, 2013, 2016 International LoneStar, 2011-2012, 2016 International 4400, 2017-2024 International LT, 2018-2024 International RH, 2019-2021 International LS, 2019-2024 International MV vehicles. The back-up lights offer low visibility when the vehicle is in reverse and bobtail mode. Also, the vehicles have not been equipped with additional unobstructed back-up lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Low visibility or obstructed back up lights may not alert other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the existing rear stop/turn signal lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 06, 2024. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23514.

  2. 14V688000Received . 18,798 units.

    Electrical System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 International Lonestar vehicles manufactured October 12, 2009, to June 16, 2014, and 2009-2015 International ProStar vehicles manufactured December 16, 2008, to June 20, 2014. In the affected vehicles the electrical harness that supplies power to the HVAC system may not be of sufficient size for the electrical load of the circuit. This can result in an increase in resistance and heating at the connectors.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    An increase in resistance and heating at the connectors could cause a vehicle fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 60 amp relay and battery harness with a 150 amp relay and battery harness, free of charge. Navistar issued an interim notification to owners on December 29, 2014. The recall began on March 2, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall is 14516.

  3. 13V439000Received . 16,107 units.

    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 International LoneStar, ProStar, and TranStar trucks manufactured February 20, 2008, through July 29, 2013 and equipped with an electronic fifth wheel jaw release system (feature code 0595BAW or 0595BAY). Due to an assembly error, the air lines at the isolation/vent valve may not be oriented correctly.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Because of the improper orientation, in the event of an air leakage at the isolation/vent valve, the 5th wheel jaw may release, unexpectedly releasing the trailer from the tractor, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 international prostar and lonestar heavy trucks manufactured from january 2, 2007 through june 1, 2010. The passenger side windshield wiper linkage rod may separate from either the wiper drive arm or passenger side pivot assembly.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    When the linkage separates, the passenger side wiper arm will no longer operate which could lead to reduced driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

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

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar has notified NHTSA of a defect on certain model year 2008-2011 international trucks equipped with an optional jump start stud. Corrosion at the base of the stud may cause an electrical short between the stud and battery box.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

  6. 10V037000Received . 1,437 units.

    Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 international prostar and lonestar trucks equipped with feature code 04azt roll stability control. The air line that supplies the traction solenoid valve of the roll stability control (rsc) system may have been connected to an incorrect port on the air tank. This condition will affect air modulation to the trailer brakes if rsc is activated during a roll stability event. This condition at no time affects the normal design function of the tractor and trailer service brakes when activated by the driver, or the function of the tractor rsc system.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Less than optimal rsc control of the trailer brakes during a roll stability event may increase the risk of a crash which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and relocate the air line that supplies the rsc traction solenoid valve to the correct port on the air tank. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on february 19, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

  7. 08V618000Received . 14,048 units.

    Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar is recalling 14,048 my 2008-2010 lonestar and prostar trucks. The service brake air line that runs from the tractor protection valve to the fast brake module may separate from the fast brake module resulting in loss of trailer service brakes.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Loss of trailer service brakes may cause a crash resulting in possible property damage, personal injury, or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the fast brake modules and the air lines running to the module will be rerouted to eliminate line tension caused by cab to frame relative motion. The recall began on march 20, 2009. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

    Report filed by NAVISTAR, INC. Manufacturer campaign number 08510. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  8. 08V258000Received . 51,588 units.

    Electrical System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar is recalling 51,588 heavy trucks, commercial buses and school buses manufactured between november 21, 2000 and may 21, 2008, equipped with one or more remote power modules. The potting material that encapsulates the circuit board of the vehicle's remote power module may not sufficiently seal the circuit board from water and contamination intrusion. If the encapsulation is compromised, water and contaminants may cause an internal electrical short, possibly resulting in a fire.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    A fire could cause personal injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Navistar will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on july 10, 2008. Owners may contact navistar at 1-280-461-1890.

    Report filed by NAVISTAR, INC. Manufacturer campaign number 08505. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  9. 08V097000Received . 579 units.

    Parking Brake / Conventional / Air

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    International is recalling my 2008-2009 4000, 5000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and prostar tractor/trucks equipped with bendix mv-3 dash control valves. The molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. This condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged in the body opening under certain circumstances.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the bendix mv-3 dash control valves free of charge. The recall began on may 9, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
