What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect may result in a fire leading to property damage, personal injury, or death, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant injury or property damage reports/risks.
Plain-English summary
Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Workhorse R26 and W22 trucks manufactured between February 5, 2007, and May 24, 2010. The recall involves the fuel-fill cap assemblies used to seal the unused side of the dual-fill gasoline fuel tank.
The hose material in these assemblies did not meet design specifications. During normal usage, this material may deteriorate, which can result in fuel leaks. A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire, which may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Dealers will replace the original fuel-fill cap assemblies with ones assembled with hose material that meets design specifications at no charge. The safety recall was expected to begin on or before October 8, 2010. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-260-461-1890 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
