I've always considered these vans as one of the iconic representations of North America.

Apparently this is a Workhorse W42, comments anyone?

DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER


Posted on: 2013-02-20
Description
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 workhorse custom chassis w42 and w62 vehicles, manufactured from july 18, 2011, through july 12, 2012, and equipped with hydraulic brakes.  The brake fluid level indicator (fli) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver.

Consequence
Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low.  A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.  

Corrective Action
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fli switch free of charge.  The safety recall began on april 26, 2013.  Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.  Navistar's recall campaign number is 51301-c.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
