Defect SummaryNavistar is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 international vehicles manufactured from november 2, 2010 through may 25, 2012, equipped with bendix air disc brakes. bolts that fasten the air disc brake caliper to the caliper mounting plate may not have been tightended to their specified torque. this may cause the mouting bolts to become loose and possibly allow the air disc brake caliper to separate from the caliper mounting plate, resulting in an unexpected pull condition during braking application or an unexpected increase in stopping distance.
Consequence SummaryAn unexpected pull condition during braking application or an unexpected increase in stopping distance, increases the risk of a crash, leading to property damage, personal injury, or death.
Corrective SummaryNavistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace any missing caliper mounting bolts and tighten caliper mounting bolts, free of charge. the safety recall began on october 30, 2012. owners may contact navistar at 1-331-332-1590.

Defect SummaryNavistar is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 ic bus ce-c, hc, and international 9400 and certain model year 2011 through 2013 international durastar, paystar, workstar, transtar, lonestar, prostar, 9200, and 9800, and certain model year 2013 international 9900, vehicles, manufactured from december 2, 2010, through january 26, 2012, and equipped with bendix atr-6 traction relay valves. in extremely cold conditions, these bendix relay valves may potentially develop internal leakage. internal leakage can lead to air pressure being delivered to affected primary or secondary brakes causing continuous brake application.
Consequence SummaryUnexpected continuous brake application can cause the brakes to overheat and lead to a fire. unexpected continuous brake application can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning to other drivers.
Corrective SummaryNavistar will notify owners, and dealers will provide a temporary repair until bendix develops a permanent remedy. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on april 10, 2012. owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
