Navistar Recalls International Trucks Due to Sun Shade Separation Risk

Navistar is recalling certain 2011-2013 International commercial trucks because sun shades may separate from the roof, potentially distracting the driver and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect (sun shade separation) could distract the driver and increase crash risk, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 International Lonestar, model year 2012-2013 International Terrastar, and model year 2011-2013 International DuraStar, ProStar, TranStar, and WorkStar commercial trucks. The affected vehicles were manufactured between June 1, 2010, and March 7, 2012, and are equipped with specific day cab and feature codes associated with sun shades.

The sun shade may not be properly secured to the cab roof panel, which may result in partial or full separation of the sun shade from the roof panel. If the sun shade separates from the cab roof during vehicle operation, the sudden release could distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and strengthen the sun shade mounting free of charge. The safety recall began on September 10, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
