On certain trucks equipped with an automatic transmission and the auto neutral feature, 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.
Sudden and unexpected movement of the truck could increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the body control module (BCM) software.
On certain trucks, the connecting rod bushings could fail due to a manufacturing defect. This could cause an engine failure that can result in a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. Note: This is an expansion of recall 21505 (Transport Canada Recall 2021-240).
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a stalled vehicle could also increase the risk of crash.
Navistar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer install a detection system to warn a driver if there is a problem with the connecting rod bushing. The system will cause a red engine warning light to turn on if a problem is detected, before a connecting rod failure happens. Engines found with a suspect connecting rod will be repaired.
On certain vehicles equipped with a Cummins B6.7 diesel engine, the electric fuel heater could overheat and melt. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall 2019-148. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.
A fuel heater that overheats could create the risk of a fire. This could also cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Cummins will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Cummins authorized service center to disable the fuel heater. The fuel heater will be replaced by installing a plug in its place.

Correction: Dealers will re-wire the trailer brake light circuits on the trucks.
