All recalls
Electrical system
- What is wrong
- 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.
Recall number 08V258000 · Recall details
Suspension: front: wheel bearing
- What is wrong
- International is recalling 330 my 2008-2009 4000 series trucks and 3000 re, fbc, and sfc buses. A manufacturing defect in the subassembly of the front axle wheel hubs resulted in the bearings being inadequately lubricated. This condition could cause the front axle bearings to overheat which can result in bearing spalling, seizing, or related damage.
- Risk
- Such damage may result in wheel lockup or front wheel separation on the highway with little or no warning to the driver, which could result in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the front axle bearings and, if necessary, replace and/or properly lubricate the bearings. The recall began on may 23, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.
Recall number 08V146000 · Recall details
Parking brake: conventional: air
- What is wrong
- 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.
