CarRecallWatch- Component
- SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:QUICK RELEASE VALVE
- Problem
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2020 International HV 6X4 vehicles. The vehicles were built with a non-Quick Release Modulator Valve (NQRMV) instead of a Quick Release Modulator Valve (QRMV), which may affect the brake release time. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- Risk
- A longer time required to exhaust the brake chambers could increase the risk of a brake or tire fire.
- Remedy
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the NQRMV with a QRMV, free of charge. The recall began January 9, 2020. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 19519.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2020 International HV trucks were built with a non-Quick Release Modulator Valve instead of the specified Quick Release Modulator Valve. This may lengthen the time it takes for the brake chambers to exhaust air when the brakes are released, and the vehicle does not meet the federal air brake standard (FMVSS 121).
The longer brake release time could increase the risk of a brake or tire fire.
The repair is free. Navistar will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the non-Quick Release Modulator Valve with a Quick Release Modulator Valve at no charge. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 (recall number 19519), and you can check your VIN for open recalls.
