What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 International Lonestar vehicles, manufactured from January 29, 2009, through February 21, 2011 and equipped with the Harley Davidson option package with feature codes 27DRV and 28DRV. Over time, due to corrosion and fatigue, the wheels may crack, resulting in possible wheel separation from the vehicle.

The risk

If this occurs, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected wheels, free of charge. The safety recall began on September 7, 2012. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-260-461-1890.

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.
