Navistar, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Sep 20, 2017 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 1,175. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016 International DuraStar, LoneStar, ProStar, TerraStar, TranStar, WorkStar, 9900i, and IC Bus HC vehicles equipped with certain Spicer D or E series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.

If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 8, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall is 17507.

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 17V575000.
