The defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 International Durastar trucks manufactured May 13, 2009, to June 24, 2013, 2011-2012 International Workstar trucks manufactured November 30, 2010, to September 26, 2011, and 2010-2014 IC Bus HC transit buses manufactured November 19, 2009, to April 24, 2013. The affected vehicles may have an improperly routed engine grid heater power feed cable which can result in the cable contacting the metal edge on the cab.
The risk
If the cable contacts the metal edge of the cab, it may cause an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will secure the power feed cable so that it cannot contact the cab, free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15514.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
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.
