On certain trucks, the backup lamps could be blocked and may not be visible. As a result, the trucks don't meet the requirements of the Canadian regulations. Note: This recall only affects trucks equipped with a pintle hook lowering bracket and feature code 01WPN, 01 WPS, or 01VAL.
Backup lamps that aren't visible could cause a person not to recognize that the vehicle is backing and increase the risk of a crash.
Navistar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealership to install new tail stop/turn signal lamps with integrated backup lamps.
On certain vehicles, the tapered hole in the steering arm was machined oversized. The clearance between a correctly sized drag link ball stud and the oversized tapered bore is sufficiently great enough to allow the ball stud to fatigue and potentially break. Also, the castle nut could completely back off, causing the drag link to disconnect from the steering arm. If the ball stud breaks or the drag link becomes disconnected, all steering control of the vehicle would be lost. Correction: Dealer will replace the steering knuckle and drag link.
A failure of this component (steering) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles, the starter field stud may contact the frame rail. If the field stud of the starter contacts the frame rail and the starter is energized there can be a direct full battery current short to the frame (ground) when the starter is in the cranking mode. If the field stud of the starter contacts the frame rail during the engine cranking mode, the direct short can create a fire hazard which may result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealer will replace the starter nose cone. The new nose cone will reorient the starter stud farther away from the frame rail to completely eliminate the clearance issue.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
