Navistar Recalls International LoneStar and ProStar Trucks for Wiper Defect

Navistar is recalling 2008-2011 International LoneStar and ProStar trucks because the passenger-side wiper linkage may separate, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect could lead to a crash due to reduced visibility, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 International LoneStar and ProStar heavy trucks manufactured between January 2, 2007, and June 1, 2010. The recall involves approximately 39,544 vehicles.

The defect involves the passenger-side windshield wiper linkage rod, which may separate from either the wiper drive arm or the passenger-side pivot assembly. If this separation occurs, the passenger-side wiper arm will no longer operate. This failure could lead to reduced driver visibility, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Navistar will notify owners, and International dealers will replace the windshield wiper linkage assembly free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin on or about December 17, 2010. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
