Navistar Recalls 2011 Workhorse Trucks Due to Fuel Leak Risk

Navistar is recalling 2011 Workhorse R26 and W22 trucks because deteriorating fuel-fill cap hoses may cause leaks, increasing the risk of fire.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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.
