The problem

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 ic bus ce-c, hc, and international 9400 and certain model year 2011 through 2013 international durastar, paystar, workstar, transtar, lonestar, prostar, 9200, and 9800, and certain model year 2013 international 9900, vehicles, manufactured from december 2, 2010, through january 26, 2012, and equipped with bendix atr-6 traction relay valves. In extremely cold conditions, these bendix relay valves may potentially develop internal leakage. Internal leakage can lead to air pressure being delivered to affected primary or secondary brakes causing continuous brake application.

The risk

Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the brakes to overheat and lead to a fire. Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning to other drivers.

The fix

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will provide a temporary repair until bendix develops a permanent remedy. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on april 10, 2012. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
