SERVICE BRAKES, AIR - SLACK ADJUSTERS - AUTOMATIC
11V167000NAVISTAR, INCfrom 10/19/2010 to 02/03/2011V (Vehicle)3304/21/2011MFRNAVISTAR, INC03/14/201103/14/2011
Defect SummaryNavistar is recall certain model year 2011 and 2012 international durastar and workstar commercial trucks manufactured from october 19, 2010, and february 3, 2011, equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. due to an incomplete knitting of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
Consequence SummaryIf the slack adjuster housing were to break, the wheel brake to which the slack adjuster is attached would no longer function, reducing braking capacity and, in some cases, causing the vehicle to pull to one side. reduced braking performance and/or loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryNavistar will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin on or about april 1, 2011. owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

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.
