Summary

Navistar, Inc. "Navistar" is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 International DuraStar Trucks and 2012-2014 International TerraStar trucks intended for emergency vehicle operations manufactured from February 25, 2010, through February 18, 2013, and equipped with 2010 MaxxForce 7 V8 diesel engines. In the affected vehicles, the Engine Warning Protection Shutdown "EWPS" was inadvertently re-enabled when the Engine Control Module "ECM" was recalibrated.

Consequence

If the Engine Warning Protection System is enabled and certain engine faults occur, the emergency vehicle may shutdown "EWPS" hampering rescue operations and increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the ECM software to ensure that the EWPS is disabled, free of charge. The recall began on March 12, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-5000. Navistar's recall number for this campaign is 14505.
