2012 INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Navistar is recalling certain 2012 International ProStar commercial trucks manufactured between March 22, 2011, and December 9, 2011, that are equipped with Meritor Wabco Electronic Stability Control (ESC) units. Under certain road and driving conditions, the ESC system may incorrectly calculate the vehicle's slip angle, causing it to perceive an oversteer situation and apply the front axle outer wheel brake. If the driver reacts slowly to this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from its intended path, increasing the risk of a crash.
Navistar will notify owners of affected vehicles, and dealers will install a new ESC module at no cost. The recall began in February 2012. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
