The defect
Navistar Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2016-2018 International LT, 2016-2017 International ProStar, 2017-2018 International LoneStar and International RH heavy diesel trucks. The air dryer mounting bracket may fracture, causing air system leaks or a loss of air pressure to the brake system.
The risk
A loss of brake air pressure could lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air dryer mounting bracket, free of charge. The recall began on May 12, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for the recall is 17502.
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.
