A vehicle double battery jump start or electrical load dump event could result in an overvoltage condition of a component within the HVAC system linear power module (LPM) which is used to control the blower speed. The overvoltage condition could result in the overheating and failure of the LPM.
- The risk
- If the LPM overheats and fails, there is an increased risk of a fire.
- The fix
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the LPM with an upgraded one, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on June 18, 2015. A second notification will mailed when parts become available. The recall began on August 6, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.

- The problem
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 International 9900, DuraStar, LoneStar, PayStar, ProStar, WorkStar and 2015 International TranStar and IC Bus CE vehicles equipped with a Haldex air braking system. The affected brake actuators may have been manufactured with an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism. This could cause dragging or overheated brakes.
- The risk
- If the brakes drag and overheat there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.
- The fix
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Haldex Life Seal Brake chambers, free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15504. Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V-806.
- The problem
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 International WorkStar vehicles manufactured March 16, 2012, to October 1, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the headlight low beam and ground circuits may have been reversed at the headlight connector resulting in reduced light output. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- The risk
- Reduced light output may impair the driver's vision, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will correct the wiring in headlight harness connector, free of charge. The recall began on December 29, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 14525.
- The problem
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 International DuraStar vehicles manufactured November 2012 through December 2013, International WorkStar vehicles manufactured December 2012 through January 2014, and 2014-2015 International TranStar and International ProStar vehicles manufactured January 2013 through February 2014. The affected vehicles are built with air disc brake feature codes 04WEY, 04WEZ, or 04WZK. These vehicles may have an incorrect number of bolts mounting the brake caliper to the caliper mounting plate and some of the bolts may be improperly torqued.

- The fix
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace any missing bolts and check the torque of all of the air disk brake caliper bolts, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 14508.
