Summary

Navistar, Inc. "Navistar" is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 International DuraStar vehicles manufactured November 2012 through December 2013, International WorkStar vehicles manufactured December 2012 through January 2014, and 2014-2015 International TranStar and International ProStar vehicles manufactured January 2013 through February 2014. The affected vehicles are built with air disc brake feature codes 04WEY, 04WEZ, or 04WZK. These vehicles may have an incorrect number of bolts mounting the brake caliper to the caliper mounting plate and some of the bolts may be improperly torqued.

Consequence

If the air disk brake caliper has loose or missing bolts, the air disk brake caliper may come loose from the mounting plate causing the vehicle to pull left or right while braking and lengthening the distance needed to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace any missing bolts and check the torque of all of the air disk brake caliper bolts, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 14508.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
