On certain trucks, the battery ground cables that connect to the vehicle frame could overheat. If this happens, the battery post could separate and cause a loss of electrical power. As a result, the engine could shut off suddenly.
Overheated battery ground cables could create a burn risk. A loss of power while driving could increase the risk of a crash.
Navistar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the alternator positive and ground cables. The dealer will also reroute the alternator ground connection from the frame rail to the starter.
On certain vehicles, the exhaust hanger brackets may crack and allow the tail pipe to separate from the vehicle.
If the exhaust tail pipe falls off, it could become a hazard for road users and bystanders. This could create a risk of injury and/or a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the rear exhaust hanger bracket replaced. Dealers will also inspect and replace any forward bracket found cracked and/or tail pipe that is damaged.
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The vehicles may have been equipped with a right headlamp assembly that is improperly marked. If the headlamp requires realignment, a service technician may align the assembly incorrectly due to the improper marking. This could reduce a driver’s night time visibility, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Truck-Lite will mail a corrected right headlamp assembly label to current owners with instructions for proper placement.
A failure of this component (lights and instruments) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles, the air dryer mounting bracket may fracture and cause the air dryer to separate the frame. This could potentially cause the air lines to separate from the dryer resulting in an air system leak or loss of air pressure to the brake system, which would increase stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the air dryer mounting bracket with an updated heavy duty bracket.
