CarRecallWatch- Component
- SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
- Problem
- Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2021-2024 International HV, HX, LoneStar, LT, MV, eMV, and RH trucks, and IC Bus CE, 2021-2023 IC Bus RE, and 2022-2023 IC Bus TC Commercial Buses. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) indicator light does not remain illuminated when a malfunction exists, and when the vehicle's ignition switch is on, and the vehicle is in motion. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- Risk
- An ABS indicator light that fails to remain illuminated will not alert the driver of an ABS malfunction, which could increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Towing variant vehicles under this campaign will not be repaired under recall 24V-8918. Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 24, 2023. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23515.
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2021 IC Bus and International trucks and buses may have an anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light that does not stay illuminated when an ABS malfunction exists while the vehicle is moving with the ignition on. The vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 for air brake systems.
Because the light may not warn the driver of a problem with the ABS, a brake malfunction could go unnoticed, which could increase the risk of a crash. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on July 24, 2023. Owners may also contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825, referencing Navistar recall number 23515.
Authorized dealers will update the vehicle software free of charge. Towing variant vehicles under this campaign will not be repaired under recall 24V-8918. You can check whether your vehicle has any open recalls by entering its VIN on the NHTSA website.
