Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Navistar is recalling certain 2010 and 2011 International 4300M, 8600, Lonestar, and Prostar brand trucks manufactured between May 6, 2009 and May 25, 2010. The fastener that clamps the pitman arm to the steering gear shaft may have been undertorqued during assembly, which could cause wear of the connecting splines and allow the pitman arm to slip over the shaft. This condition reduces steering control and increases the risk of a crash.
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will repair affected vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on July 9, 2010. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
