2012 INTERNATIONAL WORKSTAR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
International Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2012 International WorkStar commercial trucks manufactured between February 7, 2011, and June 7, 2011, that were built with dual steering gear features. The fastener connecting the pitman arm to the right side steering gear may not have been properly tightened or may be missing a locking feature, which could cause the pitman arm to separate from the steering gear and result in loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash that may cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
Dealers will inspect the pitman arm and steering gear connection and either tighten the fastener to the correct torque specification or replace the pitman arm, with all service performed free of charge. The recall was expected to begin on or before August 19, 2011. According to the record, affected owners should contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
