The back-up lights offer low visibility when the vehicle is in reverse and bobtail mode. Also, the vehicles have not been equipped with additional unobstructed back-up lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk. Low visibility or obstructed back up lights may not alert other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will replace the existing rear stop/turn signal lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 06, 2024. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23514.

Defect. Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 International LoneStar, ProStar, and TranStar trucks manufactured February 20, 2008, through July 29, 2013 and equipped with an electronic fifth wheel jaw release system (feature code 0595BAW or 0595BAY). Due to an assembly error, the air lines at the isolation/vent valve may not be oriented correctly.

Risk. Because of the improper orientation, in the event of an air leakage at the isolation/vent valve, the 5th wheel jaw may release, unexpectedly releasing the trailer from the tractor, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air line routing. If necessary, the air line routing will be corrected free of charge. The recall began on October 10, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's recall number is 13514.

Defect. NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 THROUGH 2011 INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR AND LONESTAR HEAVY TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM JANUARY 2, 2007 THROUGH JUNE 1, 2010. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE ROD MAY SEPARATE FROM EITHER THE WIPER DRIVE ARM OR PASSENGER SIDE PIVOT ASSEMBLY.

Risk. WHEN THE LINKAGE SEPARATES, THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER ARM WILL NO LONGER OPERATE WHICH COULD LEAD TO REDUCED DRIVER VISIBILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. NAVISTAR WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND INTERNATIONAL DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 17, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NAVISTAR AT 1-800-448-7825.

Defect. NAVISTAR IS RECALLING 14,048 MY 2008-2010 LONESTAR AND PROSTAR TRUCKS. THE SERVICE BRAKE AIR LINE THAT RUNS FROM THE TRACTOR PROTECTION VALVE TO THE FAST BRAKE MODULE MAY SEPARATE FROM THE FAST BRAKE MODULE RESULTING IN LOSS OF TRAILER SERVICE BRAKES.

Risk. LOSS OF TRAILER SERVICE BRAKES MAY CAUSE A CRASH RESULTING IN POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FAST BRAKE MODULES AND THE AIR LINES RUNNING TO THE MODULE WILL BE REROUTED TO ELIMINATE LINE TENSION CAUSED BY CAB TO FRAME RELATIVE MOTION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NAVISTAR AT 1-800-448-7825.

Defect. NAVISTAR IS RECALLING 51,588 HEAVY TRUCKS, COMMERCIAL BUSES AND SCHOOL BUSES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 21, 2000 AND MAY 21, 2008, EQUIPPED WITH ONE OR MORE REMOTE POWER MODULES. THE POTTING MATERIAL THAT ENCAPSULATES THE CIRCUIT BOARD OF THE VEHICLE'S REMOTE POWER MODULE MAY NOT SUFFICIENTLY SEAL THE CIRCUIT BOARD FROM WATER AND CONTAMINATION INTRUSION. IF THE ENCAPSULATION IS COMPROMISED, WATER AND CONTAMINANTS MAY CAUSE AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL SHORT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FIRE.

Risk. A FIRE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy. NAVISTAR WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPAIR THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 10, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NAVISTAR AT 1-280-461-1890.

Defect. INTERNATIONAL IS RECALLING MY 2008-2009 4000, 5000, 7000, 8000, 9000 AND PROSTAR TRACTOR/TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX MV-3 DASH CONTROL VALVES. THE MOLDED VALVE BODY HAS AN INCORRECT CORE PIN IN THE INJECTION MOLD CAUSING THE VALVE BODY TO BE OVERSIZED IN THE DOUBLE CHECK VALVE AREA. THIS CONDITION CAN ALLOW THE RUBBER DOUBLE CHECK VALVE TO BECOME LODGED IN THE BODY OPENING UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Risk. IF THE DOUBLE CHECK VALVE BECOMES LODGED, IN THE EVENT OF A PRIMARY RESERVOIR FAILURE, AIR PRESSURE CAN LEAK PAST THE LODGED DOUBLE CHECK VALVE THEREBY DEPLETING THE SECONDARY RESERVOIR, CAUSING REDUCED ABILITY FOR MODULATING THE SERVICE EMERGENCY BRAKES INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BENDIX MV-3 DASH CONTROL VALVES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 9, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

Defect. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE RETENTION SYSTEM OF THE PIN THAT ATTACHES THE HOOD TRAVEL LIMITING SHOCK TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET ON TOP OF THE RADIATOR MAY BECOME DISABLED DUE TO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN IT AND THE GRAB HANDLE POCKET OF THE HOOD. THIS COULD ALLOW THE PIN TO WORK OUT OF THE CONNECTION RESULTING IN THE HOOD SEPARATING FROM THE SHOCK.

Risk. WITH THE VEHICLE IN A STATIONARY POSITION, THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE A SITUATION WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL OPENING THE HOOD WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE HOOD WITHOUT WARNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HOOD/HOOD TRAVEL LIMITING SHOCK CONNECTION PIN AND PIN RETENTION SYSTEM WITH A SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE HOOD GRAB HANDLE POCKET. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 11, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

Defect. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH DAVCO FUEL PRO 382 HEATED FUEL FILTERS, WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE 'ON' POSITION, THE PRE-HEATER, LOCATED IN THE FUEL FILTER BASE, IS ENERGIZED.

Risk. A CRACK IN THE BRAKE FLANGE LOCATION OF THE REAR AXLE HOUSING MAY RESULT IN A WHEEL END LOCKUP OR WHEEL SEPARATION POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S REAR AXLES AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE AXLE HOUSINGS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 18, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7815.

Hello NHTSA, On 05/15/26, I was driving on [XXX] southbound when the sidewall of my Michelin X Line Energy Z steer axle tire failed and blew out. The tire was purchased on 12/23/25 and was made in [XXX] . When the tire blew, dark thing spread onto the hood, bumper, and side of my truck. I have attached images and videos showing the damage and the failed tire. Thankfully, I was driving at about 55 mph, remained in control of the vehicle, and no one was injured. The tire tread was still in excellent condition at the time of the incident. For safety reasons, I was forced to replace both steer tires immediately. I have also attached the invoice along with the photos and videos I recorded. Thank you. P.S. I was unable to upload/download the video file successfully.
