What this recall means for you
A spring inside the spring brake chamber can allow the pressure plate to shift and wear a hole through the diaphragm. This can cause an air leak that makes the parking brake engage on its own.
When the parking brake engages unexpectedly, the vehicle can slow or stop suddenly while driving, which increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the spring brake chambers and replace them as needed, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 28, 2021. If you have questions, contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 and reference recall number 21502. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
