2007 International Prostar recalls
Recall 08V-258: Electrical System
Problem: Navistar is recalling 51,588 heavy trucks, commercial buses and school buses manufactured between november 21, 2000 and may 21, 2008, equipped with one or more remote power modules. The potting material that encapsulates the circuit board of the vehicle's remote power module may not sufficiently seal the circuit board from water and contamination intrusion. If the encapsulation is compromised, water and contaminants may cause an internal electrical short, possibly resulting in a fire.
Risk: A fire could cause personal injury or death.
Fix: Navistar will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on july 10, 2008. Owners may contact navistar at 1-280-461-1890.
Recall 07V-180: Fuel System, Diesel
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with davco fuel pro 382 heated fuel filters, when the key is in the 'on' position, the pre-heater, located in the fuel filter base, is energized.
Risk: If this pre-heater is energized while maintenance is being performed on the fuel filter, diesel fuel could ignite within the filter housing. A fire within the fuel filter housing may spread possibly resulting in property damage or personal injury.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel filters and fuel heaters and, if necessary, will replace the fuel heater. The recall began on may 11, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
Recall 07V-179: Suspension
Problem: On certain trucks, one or both rear axle housings may contain thinner material than what is necessary for normal vehicle operation. Over time, this thinner material may result in a fatigue failure of the rear axle housing, possibly in the location of the brake flange.
Risk: A crack in the brake flange location of the rear axle housing may result in a wheel end lockup or wheel separation possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicle's rear axles and, if necessary, replace the axle housings. The recall began on may 18, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7815.
