18V588000EngineSeptember 5, 2018 · 26,288 units

Defect

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017-2018 International ProStar and 9900i trucks, 2018-2019 International LT trucks, 2017-2019 International LoneStar and HX trucks and 2017 International PayStar trucks, equipped with Cummins ISX15 or X15 diesel engines. In certain driving conditions, such as on a long down-hill grade, the fuel line may burst if the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted.

Consequence

If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road resulting in a roadway hazard for other motorists. The engine may also stall without warning, resulting in the vehicle's inability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Cummins will notify the affected owners and dealers will replace the nylon fuel line with a steel fuel line, free of charge. Navistar issued owners an interim notification on October 11, 2018. The recall began November 21, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825, or Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467.

18V289000Electrical SystemMay 3, 2018 · 72 units

Defect

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017-2019 International HX severe service diesel trucks equipped with feature code 04091 (dual air brake system) and 04AZY (Antilock Brake System (ABS) with 6 channel Electronic Stability Protection (ESP)). The air supply line to the SR7 roll stability valve may have been improperly routed to the ATR6 brake control valve steer axle delivery port, when it should be connected to the ATR6 brake control valve control port.

Consequence

During a stability control oversteer event when there are slippery road conditions, the parking brakes may be modulated unintentionally, potentially causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the SR7 roll stability valve supply line to the ATR6 brake control valve control port, free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 18504.

Defect

(Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2017 International ProStar, LoneStar, PayStar, HX, and 9900 trucks equipped with a Cummins ISX15L engine using certain engine control modules (ECM).

Consequence

An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy
