DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION


Posted on: 2015-10-23
Description
Navistar, inc.  (navistar) is recalling certain model year 2016 international prostar trucks manufactured january 5, 2015, to january 7, 2015, and 2016 international transtar trucks manufactured on january 6, 2015, and equipped with certain eaton fuller fr-series 10-speed manual transmissions.  When the transmission shift lever is moved from reverse to neutral, the reverse gear may stay engaged.  When the transmission shift lever is moved from reverse to a forward gear position, the transmission may mechanically lock because both the reverse gear and forward gear are simultaneously engaged.

Consequence
Even though the transmission has been shifted out of reverse into neutral, the vehicle may unexpectedly move backwards, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmission.  Any affected transmission will be repaired or replaced, free of charge.  The recall began on november 20, 2015.  Owners may contact navistar customer service at 1-800-343-7357.  Navistar's number for this recall is 15516.
