What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: NAVISTAR MODELS 4700 AND 4900 STREET SWEEPERS EQUIPPED WITH DUALIZED STEERING AND VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL. IMPROPER WIRING NEAR THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEELS WILL CAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL TO STAY ENGAGED AFTER DEPRESSING THE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL.

The risk

THE BRAKE PEDAL MAY NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF LOSS OF CONTROL BY THE OPERATOR.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL CORRECT THE WIRING TO THE CRUISE CONTROL.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
