Navistar Recalls 23,122 Vehicles for Fuel Heater Fire Risk

Navistar is recalling 23,122 vehicles because an electric fuel heater may overheat, melt plastic, and cause a fire or engine stall.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel heater overheating) that can cause a fire and engine stall, which the source states increases the risk of injury and crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2020 International DuraStar and WorkStar, 2018-2020 IC Bus CECB, International HV and MV, 2018-2019 IC Bus 1300 FBC and HCCB, and 2019-2020 IC Bus TCCB vehicles. The recall affects 23,122 vehicles equipped with Cummins B6.7 diesel engines with specific fuel module options (FS90301 or FS90453).

The electric fuel heater within the fuel module may overheat, causing plastic in the fuel heater to melt and potentially catch fire. This overheating may also lead to engine stalling. A fire increases the risk of injury, and an engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify affected Navistar owners. Cummins dealers will replace the fuel heater with a newly designed fuel heater free of charge. The recall began on May 2, 2019. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.
