Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the S-cam brake assemblies with a brake assembly with cast spiders and S-cam tube bracket assemblies with reinforced gussets, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall 14501. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 13V231.
