Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 International ProStar commercial trucks manufactured between January 24, 2012, and January 2, 2013. The recall affects vehicles with feature codes 29AEB and 29AEC (Preset Plus hubs). The defect involves the axle bearing retaining nut lock snap ring, which may have not been installed or may have been installed incorrectly.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any missing axle bearing retainer nut lock snap rings free of charge. The safety recall began on April 24, 2013.

Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) for more information. The NHTSA recall number is 13V101000.
