Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 International Prostar commercial trucks manufactured between September 22, 2010, and December 3, 2010. The recall affects 421 vehicles equipped with driveline feature code 06WAK.

The defect involves the rubber isolator material that holds the driveline center bearing in the mounting bracket. Due to an incorrect mounting location, this material may deteriorate, which could result in the driveline separating without warning. Driveline separation may cause a crash, potentially resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the center bearing and its mounting hardware free of charge. The safety recall began on January 27, 2011. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
