What happened

Navistar is recalling certain 2012 and 2013 International WorkStar trucks manufactured between November 15, 2010, and March 6, 2012, that are equipped with bumper-mounted headlights. The headlight beam circuit and ground circuit are switched at the headlight connector, which reduces the wattage and brightness of the bumper headlights below the level required by federal safety standards. This dimmer lighting may reduce the driver's visibility or the truck's visibility to other motorists, increasing the risk of a crash.

Navistar will notify owners of affected vehicles, and dealers will repair the vehicles at no cost to owners. The recall began on April 23, 2012. Owners of affected trucks should contact Navistar at 1-260-461-1890.
