Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
International Motors is recalling certain 2011-2014 ProStar, LoneStar, and TranStar trucks manufactured between October 2010 and March 2013 that are equipped with Fontaine Ultra LT Fifth Wheel connectors. The fifth wheel and locking mechanism on these trucks can become damaged over time, which may cause the locking mechanism to fail and allow the trailer to unexpectedly detach from the tractor, potentially causing a crash.
Navistar will notify owners, and Fontaine dealers will replace the fifth wheel with an Ultra NT model fifth wheel at no cost. Owners of affected trucks should contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or Fontaine customer service at 1-844-597-7393 to arrange the replacement.
