Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 International HX, DuraStar, WorkStar, HV, LoneStar, LT, MV, and RH vehicles, as well as IC Bus HC, CE, and RE vehicles. The recall affects 2,089 units equipped with long stroke brake chambers and spring actuated parking brakes.

The defect involves the spring actuated parking brake, which may be improperly crimped to the long stroke service brake chamber. This can cause a service brake air leak and the possible separation of the spring brake chamber from the service brake section. An air leak or separation can increase the needed stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake chamber assemblies from the suspected lot free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2018. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
