What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2018-2019 International WorkStar, DuraStar, LoneStar, LT, ProStar, RH and IC Bus HC, 2018 International TranStar, 2019 International HV and MV trucks and transit buses. The front driver and passenger seat belt anchor D-ring bolt may break in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The risk

If the D-ring bolt breaks during a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing their risk of injury.

The remedy

Navistar has notified owners, and dealers will replace the D-ring bolt depending on the information found on the seat belt label, free of charge. The recall began May 23, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 18505.

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.
