DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER


Posted on: 2014-04-21
Description
Navistar, inc.  (navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 international durastar vehicles manufactured november 2012 through december 2013, international workstar vehicles manufactured december 2012 through january 2014, and 2014-2015 international transtar and international prostar vehicles manufactured january 2013 through february 2014.  The affected vehicles are built with air disc brake feature codes 04wey, 04wez, or 04wzk.  These vehicles may have an incorrect number of bolts mounting the brake caliper to the caliper mounting plate and some of the bolts may be improperly torqued.

Consequence
If the air disk brake caliper has loose or missing bolts, the air disk brake caliper may come loose from the mounting plate causing the vehicle to pull left or right while braking and lengthening the distance needed to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace any missing bolts and check the torque of all of the air disk brake caliper bolts, free of charge.  The recall began on may 7, 2014.  Owners may contact navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.  Navistar's number for this recall is 14508.

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.

DEFECT #2 - POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY


Posted on: 2014-09-29
Description
Navistar, inc.  (navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 international transtar vehicles manufactured april 2, 2014, to june 18, 2014.  In the affected vehicles, the nut that fastens the lower clutch rod to the bell crank arm may not have been installed or tightened to the specified torque.  

Consequence
A missing or insufficiently tightened nut could cause the lower clutch rod to separate from the bell crank arm, making it difficult to shift the transmission.  If the lower clutch rod separates while the vehicle is stopped and the clutch pedal is depressed with the engine running, or it separates during deceleration, the vehicle may lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear.  Any of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Navistar has notified owners, and dealers will replace any missing lower clutch rod nut, and verify that the nut is correctly torqued, free of charge.  The recall began in late october 2014.  Owners may contact navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.  Navistar's number for this recall is 14515.

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.

DEFECT #4 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE


Posted on: 2015-07-08
Description
Navistar, inc.  (navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 international transtar vehicles manufactured april 10, 2012, to december 12, 2014.  Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

Consequence
If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

Corrective Action
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of navistar, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow.  In addition, the electronic control module (ecm) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures.  These repairs will be performed free of charge.  The recall began on june 16, 2015.  Owners may contact navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825, or cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.
