Navistar Recalls 2011-2015 Commercial Vehicles for HVAC Fire Risk

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 International DuraStar, ProStar, TranStar, and WorkStar vehicles; 2012-2015 International TerraStar; 2013-2015 International LoneStar; and 2014-2015 IC Bus HC and AC vehicles. The recall involves 82,736 units.

A vehicle double battery jump start or electrical load dump event could result in an overvoltage condition of a component within the HVAC system linear power module (LPM). This overvoltage could cause the LPM to overheat and fail, which increases the risk of a fire.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the LPM with an upgraded one free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on June 18, 2015, and a second notification will be mailed when parts become available. The recall began on August 6, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
