What happened

Navistar is recalling certain 2011-2013 International vehicles manufactured between November 2, 2010 and May 25, 2012 that are equipped with Bendix air disc brakes. The bolts that attach the air disc brake caliper to the mounting plate may not have been tightened properly, which could cause them to loosen and allow the caliper to separate from the mounting plate. This defect can result in an unexpected pull to one side during braking or a longer stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

If you own an affected vehicle, Navistar will notify you of the recall. Dealers will replace any missing caliper mounting bolts and tighten all caliper mounting bolts at no charge. The recall began on October 30, 2012. You can contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590 for more information.

Details from the source

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 International vehicles manufactured from November 2, 2010 through May 25, 2012, equipped with Bendix air disc brakes. Bolts that fasten the air disc brake caliper to the caliper mounting plate may not have been tightended to their specified torque. This may cause the mouting bolts to become loose and possibly allow the air disc brake caliper to separate from the caliper mounting plate, resulting in an unexpected pull condition during braking application or an unexpected increase in stopping distance.
