Navistar Recalls 2016-2017 International Trucks and IC Buses for Parking Brake Defect

Navistar is recalling specific 2016-2017 International trucks and 2016 IC buses because a parking brake cable clip may fail, causing the vehicle to roll unexpectedly.

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 structural vehicle defect (parking brake failure) that poses a risk of harm (injury or crash), but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016 International 1300 trucks, 2016-2017 International DuraStar trucks, 2016-2017 International TerraStar trucks, and 2016 IC AC transit buses. The affected vehicles were manufactured between January 28, 2015, and May 12, 2015, with specific date ranges varying by model. The recall involves a defect in the metal connecting clip that attaches the hand-operated parking brake actuator cable to the intermediate parking brake cable.

If this metal connecting clip fails, the parking brake cable connection may break. This failure could cause the vehicle to roll unexpectedly, which increases the risk of injury or a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hand parking brake cable connector clips free of charge. The recall began on May 3, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
