2016 International Durastar recalls
Brake fluid leak can cause electrical short and fire risk
A brake pressure switch assembly may leak brake fluid into its electrical components, which can cause an electrical short-circuit in the switch.
Engine can overpower parking brake, risking unexpected movement
On certain International DuraStar and WorkStar trucks, the engine control software may allow the engine to rev while the parking brake is applied, if the automatic transmission is in drive or reverse and the stationary PTO switch is engaged.
Fire extinguisher may clog or fail to discharge
Some trucks are equipped with Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguishers that may become clogged, so the extinguisher may not discharge as expected or may require excessive force to activate.
Loose Steering Tie Rod Can Cause Loss of Steering
Certain 2016 commercial trucks and buses with specific Spicer D or E series steer axles may have a castellated nut that was not properly torqued.
Parking brake clip can fail, letting vehicle roll away
A metal connecting clip that joins the hand-operated parking brake actuator cable to the intermediate parking brake cable may fail on certain International and IC Bus trucks and buses from the 2016 and 2017 model years.
Engine control module may short circuit and stall engine
The engine control module (ECM) in certain 2016 heavy-duty trucks built in August 2015 may short circuit.
Brakes May Drag and Overheat, Risking a Wheel Fire
