CarRecallWatch- Component
- EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Problem
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2021 International MV and HV vehicles equipped with feature code 10EWW, 10EYD, 10HYR, or 10JPJ (Fifth wheel, stationary), 10HJA (Fifth wheel, air slide) or 10WDN (Fifth wheel mounting angles). The vehicles may not have had sections of reflective tape applied to the right and left upper contours of the cab. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamp, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- Without the reflective strips, a truck operating without a trailer at night may be less visible, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will install reflective tape to the back of the cab, free of charge. The recall began October 21, 2020. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 20508.
- 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 2021 International MV and HV trucks, equipped with specific fifth wheel options, may not have reflective tape applied to the upper contours of the cab. This means the vehicle does not fully meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for reflective devices. When a truck is driven at night without a trailer attached, it may be harder for other drivers to see, which increases the risk of a crash.
Navistar, Inc. will notify affected owners. Authorized dealers will install reflective tape to the back of the cab at no cost to the owner. Owners can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 with questions about the recall. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
