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 in the steering system that explicitly cites the risk of a crash resulting in personal injury or death, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 International 7300, 7400, and 7500 vehicles manufactured between June 30, 2010, and October 13, 2010. These vehicles were built with an incorrect steering system draglink.

The defect may cause drivers to experience degraded steering feel and control, which increases the risk of a crash possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Dealers will replace the steering draglink and pitman arm and inspect the steering arm for damage, replacing it if necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. All affected vehicles have already been repaired, so an owner notification letter will not be issued.
