NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V776000
Manufacturer: Navistar, Inc.
Manufacturer Campaign Number: 15517
Manufactured Begin Date: April 30th, 2012
Manufactured End Date: March 25th, 2013
Date of Owner Notification: January 19th, 2016

Defect Summary:
Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 International ProStar and DuraStar trucks manufactured April 26, 2012, to April 4, 2013, WorkStar trucks manufactured April 27, 2012, to March 29, 2013, LoneStar trucks manufactured May 21, 2012, to April 2, 2013, and TranStar trucks manufactured April 30, 2012, to March 25, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the accelerator pedal position sensor can move and result in a high engine idle.

Consequence Summary:
A high engine idle may make downshifting the transmission difficult and the engine brake may be disabled. These factors may hinder slowing down the truck when descending a long grade, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Summary:
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the electronic control module (ECM) to allow it to recognize that the pedal is at the idle position, free of charge. The recall began on January 19, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 15517.

Recall 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.

Manufacturer: Navistar, Inc.
Manufactured Begin Date: March 5th, 2013
Manufactured End Date: December 12th, 2014

Defect Summary:
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured March 5, 2013, to December 12, 2014, equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines manufactured September 13, 2007, to September 23, 2015. These engines have a turbocharger oil supply line that may contact or interfere with the turbocharger inlet elbow, clean air intake clamp, or the air fuel control tube, and result in an oil leak.

Consequence Summary:
If the turbocharger oil supply line oil leaks in the proximity of the engine exhaust manifold there would be an increased risk of a fire.

Corrective Summary:
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for oil supply line interference or damage, eliminating the interference and replacing the oil supply line, as necessary, free of charge.

Manufacturer: Navistar, Inc.
Manufactured Begin Date: April 10th, 2012
Manufactured End Date: December 12th, 2014
Date of Owner Notification: June 16th, 2015

Defect Summary:
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured April 10, 2012, to December 12, 2014. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

Consequence Summary:
If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

Corrective Summary:
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Navistar, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow. In addition, the electronic control module (ECM) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825, or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.

The overvoltage condition could result in the overheating and failure of the LPM.

Consequence Summary:
