Transport Canada recalls

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.
Brakes#2015120March 18, 2015
493 units affected
On certain vehicles, brake chamber diaphragm(s) may not be properly seated. This could lead to brake drag, causing brake overheating or unintended spring brake application. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake chambers. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2014-573.
Brakes#2014573December 17, 2014
264 units affected
On certain vehicles, brake chamber diaphragm(s) may not be properly seated. This could lead to brake drag, causing brake overheating or unintended spring brake application. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs as necessary.
Brakes#2014141April 22, 2014
169 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with air disc brakes, the brake caliper bolts may have been insufficiently tightened, or an insufficient number of bolts may have been installed at time of vehicle assembly. Loose or missing bolts could allow a caliper to detach from its mount, resulting in partial loss of brake function, which could increase stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace missing bolts, if any, and tighten all caliper bolts to the specified torque.
Label#2014140April 22, 2014
417 units affected
Certain trucks may not comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. Vehicles may not bear a compliance label, or the compliance label may be missing Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) information. This could result in vehicle overloading, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be sent a revised compliance label.

U.S. NHTSA recalls

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER#15V755000November 16, 2015
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured March 5, 2013, to December 12, 2014, equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines manufactured September 13, 2007, to September 23, 2015. These engines have a turbocharger oil supply line that may contact or interfere with the turbocharger inlet elbow, clean air intake clamp, or the air fuel control tube, and result in an oil leak.
Risk: If the turbocharger oil supply line oil leaks in the proximity of the engine exhaust manifold there would be an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for oil supply line interference or damage, eliminating the interference and replacing the oil supply line, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 23, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590, or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE#15V438000July 8, 2015
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured April 10, 2012, to December 12, 2014. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
Risk: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Navistar, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow. In addition, the electronic control module (ECM) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825, or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.
VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:FAN/MOTOR#15V241000April 22, 2015
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 International DuraStar, ProStar, TranStar and WorkStar, 2012-2015 International TerraStar, 2013-2015 International LoneStar and IC Bus HC, and 2014-2015 IC Bus AC vehicles. 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.
Risk: If the LPM overheats and fails, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: 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. Navistar's number for this recall is 15509.
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR#15V165000March 23, 2015
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.
Risk: If the brakes drag and overheat there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.
Remedy: 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.
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY#14V606000September 29, 2014
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured April 2, 2014, to June 18, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the nut that fastens the lower clutch rod to the bell crank arm may not have been installed or tightened to the specified torque.
Risk: A missing or insufficiently tightened nut could cause the lower clutch rod to separate from the bell crank arm, making it difficult to shift the transmission. If the lower clutch rod separates while the vehicle is stopped and the clutch pedal is depressed with the engine running, or it separates during deceleration, the vehicle may lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear. Any of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Navistar has notified owners, and dealers will replace any missing lower clutch rod nut, and verify that the nut is correctly torqued, free of charge. The recall began in late October 2014. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 14515.
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER#14V201000April 17, 2014
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.
Risk: If the air disk brake caliper has loose or missing bolts, the air disk brake caliper may come loose from the mounting plate causing the vehicle to pull left or right while braking and lengthening the distance needed to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: 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.
