Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
International Motors, LLC (doing business as Navistar) is recalling certain commercial trucks from model years 2010 through 2013, including Paystar, Workstar, Transtar, Prostar, and Lonestar models manufactured between June 1, 2009, and April 4, 2012. The affected vehicles are equipped with specific Maxxforce engines and Bosch alternators. The issue involves the alternator cable rubbing against the power steering hose, which can wear away the hose's insulation and create an electrical short that may cause a vehicle fire, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
To fix this problem, Navistar will install a standoff bracket and reroute the alternator wires to keep them away from the power steering hose. The recall began on July 16, 2012. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 to arrange service.
