What this recall means for you
The exhaust system's rear hanger bracket can crack, and the forward bracket can then crack as well. If both brackets fail, the exhaust tailpipe may detach from the vehicle while it is being driven. A loose or detached tailpipe can become a road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The affected vehicles are certain 2016-2020 International LT and 2017-2018 Prostar 73-inch sleeper cab models equipped with feature code 07BKP or 07BKR, which have a horizontal after-treatment device and a horizontal tailpipe mounted on the right side. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to see whether your truck is included.
If your vehicle is affected, the repair is free at an authorized dealer. The dealer will replace the rear exhaust hanger bracket, replace any cracked forward bracket, and replace any damaged exhaust tailpipe. Navistar will also notify owners directly, or you can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 (recall number 19501).
