What this recall means for you
A fuse terminal connection in the cube fuse can break on certain trucks. When this happens, all power to the cab is lost and the engine can stall unexpectedly.
An unexpected engine stall can increase the risk of a crash, since the driver may lose power and control at a time when it is needed most.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the cube fuse with a chassis-mounted power distribution module (PDM) at no charge. Owners can also contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 (recall number 16508). Check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your truck is affected.
