On certain trucks, a wire terminal for the blower motor circuit breaker in the power distribution module (PDM) could overheat and melt.
Wiring that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire.
Navistar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the blower motor wiring terminal in the PDM. The dealership will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuse block.
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.
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 engine control module software to enable the PTO neutral interlock.

Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. For vehicles built with the snow plow option, the necessary body controller programming for the snow plow’s Day Time Running Lights (DRLs) may not have been installed during assembly. This could cause the snow plow DRLs to not illuminate when the headlight switch is off, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity during daylight hours, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will recalibrate the body control module.
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).
