2014 International Durastar recalls

• Powertrain#2020643December 23, 2020

  3,178 units affected

  Issue: On certain trucks equipped with an automatic transmission, when the engine RPM increases for the stationary power take off (PTO), it can overcome the parking brake if the transmission is in drive or reverse gear. As a result, the truck may move suddenly. Safety Risk: Sudden and unexpected movement of the truck could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the engine control module software to enable the PTO neutral interlock.

• 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.
