Navistar, Inc.: Wheels
Navistar, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Mar 20, 2013 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 1,646. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2013 International ProStar commercial trucks, manufactured from January 24, 2012, through January 2, 2013, with feature codes 29AEB and 29AEC (Preset Plus hubs). The axle bearing retaining nut lock snap ring may have not been installed or may have been installed incorrectly which may result in the retainer nut working loose and possibly separating the wheel hub from the axle.
The risk
Separation of a wheel hub from an axle may increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any missing axle bearing retainer nut lock snap rings, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 24, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 13V101000.
