Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 International LoneStar and ProStar trucks equipped with feature code 04AZT Roll Stability Control. The recall involves 1,437 vehicles.

The air line that supplies the traction solenoid valve of the Roll Stability Control (RSC) system may have been connected to an incorrect port on the air tank. This condition affects air modulation to the trailer brakes if the RSC is activated during a roll stability event. The defect does not affect the normal design function of the tractor and trailer service brakes when activated by the driver, nor does it affect the function of the tractor RSC system.

Less than optimal RSC control of the trailer brakes during a roll stability event may increase the risk of a crash, which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Dealers will inspect and relocate the air line to the correct port on the air tank free of charge. The safety recall began on February 19, 2010. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
