2013 International Durastar recalls

• Engine#2015546November 18, 2015

  1,466 units affected

  On certain vehicles equipped with Navistar engines, the accelerator pedal position sensor could move on its mounting bracket if the pedal is depressed with excessive force. If the sensor stator were to move out of position, it could change the sensor signal output, resulting in a high idle. On vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, if the clutch were to be depressed during operation, the engine could rise to governed RPMs resulting in difficulty selecting gears while shifting. In the condition of a loaded vehicle going down a long grade, the inability to down shift could cause difficulty in maintaining or reducing vehicle speed with just the service brakes, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will recalibrate the engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) to eliminate the high idle condition.

• Electrical#2015270June 17, 2015

  1,453 units affected

  On certain vehicles, the engine grid heater power feed cable may have been improperly routed. This could cause the cable to come in contact with a sharp metal edge on the cab causing an electrical short, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will secure the engine grid heater power feed cable and provide clearance to the cab.

• Electrical#2015171April 22, 2015

  8,552 units affected

  On certain vehicles, a double battery (24 volt) jump start or electrical load dump could result in an overvoltage condition of the linear power module (LPM) which is used to control the heater/air conditioning blower motor speed. If this were to occur, this overvoltage condition could lead to the LPM overheating, causing smoke, and increase the risk of fire, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the LPM with an upgraded design.

• Engine#2014047February 20, 2014

  47 units affected

  Certain vehicles destined for emergency vehicle applications and equipped with Maxxforce 7 V8 diesel engines may have been configured inappropriately. Software intended to protect the engine may not have been permanently disabled at time of manufacture and could be inadvertently re-enabled through servicing. Under certain conditions, unintended engine power de-rating and/or shutdown could emergency response operations and put the public at risk. Correction: Dealers will update engine software to disable engine shutdown protocols.

• Structure#2013122April 17, 2013

  3,991 units affected

  On certain trucks, the sunshade (an exterior visor mounted above the windshield) may not have been fastened to the cab roof correctly during the manufacturing process. A sunshade separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, secure the sunshade mounts.

• Electrical#2013010January 16, 2013

  545 units affected

  On certain vehicles, the Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) electrical wire may break due to vibration damage at the crimp/wire connection. This could cause an unexpected engine shut down without warning. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a redesigned IPR wire connector.

• Brakes#2012311September 19, 2012

  18 units affected

  On certain vehicles, the piston spring brake chamber may have been manufactured incorrectly and could allow air leakage into the chamber. As a result, the parking brake may not fully release, thereby causing brake drag which could result in a wheel-end fire. Should rapid air loss occur, the spring brakes would suddenly engage causing immediate brake lock-up. If this happens while the vehicle is in motion, it could result in a crash. These issues could also result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the spring brake chambers.

• Brakes#2012053February 10, 2012

  1,741 units affected

  On certain vehicles equipped with Bendix ATR-6 Antilock Traction Relay valves, in extremely cold conditions (at or below -18 degrees Celsius), internal ATR valve leakage can occur. This could cause unintended brake application, which could overheat the affected brakes and cause a fire. Also, in certain low traction conditions, unexpected brake application can cause a loss of vehicle control and a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will update the cover assembly on the ATR valves.
