TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 INTERNATIONAL LONESTAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING A ROUTINE INSPECTION, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCCANDLESS INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS, INC (3780 LOSEE RD, NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV 89030, (702) 642-8789) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RELAY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,122.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
