Navistar is recalling certain 2010-2011 International LoneStar heavy trucks because styled aluminum wheels may crack and separate, increasing crash risk.

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 recall involves a structural vehicle defect (wheel separation) that the source text explicitly states may result in property damage, personal injury, or death, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 International LoneStar heavy trucks manufactured between June 11, 2008, and June 14, 2010. The recall affects vehicles equipped with styled aluminum wheels featuring code 27DRS or 27DRT.

On some vehicles, the wheels may develop cracks in the spokes. These cracks can progress over time to the point of wheel failure, potentially causing the wheel to separate from the vehicle. Wheel separation increases the risk of a crash, which may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected wheels free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin on or about October 15, 2010. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
