Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 IC AC, BE, CE, HC, and International 4300, and Terrastar commercial trucks manufactured between February 25, 2010, and April 4, 2011. These vehicles are equipped with a MaxxForce 7 engine. The recall covers 3,375 units.

The defect involves a cap on the return fuel valve that may fall off. If the cap is missing, air may be drawn into the fuel system, potentially resulting in engine hard start, no start, or stall conditions. An engine stall on the roadway increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the return fuel valve cap free of charge. The safety recall began on July 18, 2011. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
