Recall history
4 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
14V688000 · Electrical System
Reported: 2014-10-31 (October 31, 2014)
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 International Lonestar vehicles manufactured October 12, 2009, to June 16, 2014, and 2009-2015 International ProStar vehicles manufactured December 16, 2008, to June 20, 2014. In the affected vehicles the electrical harness that supplies power to the HVAC system may not be of sufficient size for the electrical load of the circuit. This can result in an increase in resistance and heating at the connectors.
Consequence: An increase in resistance and heating at the connectors could cause a vehicle fire.
Remedy: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 60 amp relay and battery harness with a 150 amp relay and battery harness, free of charge. Navistar issued an interim notification to owners on December 29, 2014. The recall began on March 2, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall is 14516.
NHTSA campaign record ↗15V165000 · Service Brakes, Air
Reported: 2015-03-23 (March 23, 2015)
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 International 9900, DuraStar, LoneStar, PayStar, ProStar, WorkStar and 2015 International TranStar and IC Bus CE vehicles equipped with a Haldex air braking system. The affected brake actuators may have been manufactured with an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism. This could cause dragging or overheated brakes.
Consequence: If the brakes drag and overheat there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.
Remedy: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Haldex Life Seal Brake chambers, free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15504. Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V-806.
NHTSA campaign record ↗15V241000 · Visibility:Defroster/Defogger/Hvac System:Fan/Motor
Reported: 2015-04-22 (April 22, 2015)
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 International DuraStar, ProStar, TranStar and WorkStar, 2012-2015 International TerraStar, 2013-2015 International LoneStar and IC Bus HC, and 2014-2015 IC Bus AC vehicles. A vehicle double battery jump start or electrical load dump event could result in an overvoltage condition of a component within the HVAC system linear power module (LPM) which is used to control the blower speed. The overvoltage condition could result in the overheating and failure of the LPM.
Consequence: If the LPM overheats and fails, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the LPM with an upgraded one, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on June 18, 2015. A second notification will mailed when parts become available. The recall began on August 6, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15509.
NHTSA campaign record ↗15V329000 · Engine And Engine Cooling:Exhaust System:Manifold/Header/Muffler/Tail Pipe
Reported: 2015-05-29 (May 29, 2015)
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 International 9900 trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to March 12, 2015, and 2015-2016 International Lonestar trucks manufactured February 20, 2014, to March 13, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with a 6" diameter stack tail pipe, that may not have sufficient support. The unsupported weight of the upper stack tail pipe and vibration associated with normal vehicle operation over time may cause a crack of the weld joint between the inlet pipe and the flare expansion of the stack tail pipe, which may result in partial or full separation of the stack tail pipe from the vertical exhaust pipe.
Consequence: If the stack tail pipe separates from the exhaust pipe it can fall into the roadway possibly hitting another vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stack tail pipe with a one piece stack tail pipe, free of charge. The recall began on July 20, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15511.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2022: 0 complaints · 2023: 0 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |

Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
