Navistar Recalls International Trucks Due to Fuel Line Burst Risk

Navistar is recalling specific International trucks because a restricted fuel pump screen may cause the fuel line to burst, leading to fuel leaks or engine stalling.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a fuel line burst can cause the engine to stall without warning, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 International ProStar and 9900i trucks, 2018-2019 International LT trucks, 2017-2019 International LoneStar and HX trucks, and 2017 International PayStar trucks. These vehicles are equipped with Cummins ISX15 or X15 diesel engines.

In certain driving conditions, such as on a long down-hill grade, the fuel line may burst if the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted. If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road, creating a hazard for other motorists. Additionally, the engine may stall without warning, preventing the vehicle from restarting and increasing the risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify affected owners, and dealers will replace the nylon fuel line with a steel fuel line free of charge. Navistar issued an interim notification to owners on October 11, 2018, and the recall began on November 21, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467.
