Navistar Recalls 2018-2019 International Trucks and Buses for Seat Belt Defect

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2019 International WorkStar, DuraStar, LoneStar, LT, ProStar, RH, and IC Bus HC trucks and transit buses, as well as 2018 International TranStar and 2019 International HV and MV vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the front driver and passenger seat belt anchor D-ring bolt may break during a crash.

If the D-ring bolt breaks during a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, which increases their risk of injury. The recall began on May 23, 2018.

Navistar has notified owners, and dealers will replace the D-ring bolt free of charge, depending on the information found on the seat belt label. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 18505.
