(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.

When the transmission shift lever is moved from reverse to neutral, the reverse gear may stay engaged.
