What this recall means for you
A retainer inside the SC-3 single check valve of the air brake system may not be properly seated, so the valve may not isolate the air source when pressure is applied. This can cause the spring brakes to engage unintentionally, which increases the risk of a crash.
If you own an affected vehicle, dealers will replace the SC-3 check valves at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 28, 2021. You can contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825, referencing recall number 21503, and you should check your VIN for open recalls.
