Is my product affected?

2016 INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR; 2016 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR

  • Brand INTERNATIONAL

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Navistar is recalling certain 2016 International ProStar and TranStar trucks equipped with specific Eaton Fuller FR-Series 10-speed manual transmissions manufactured in early January 2015. The affected transmissions may fail to disengage from reverse gear when the shift lever is moved to neutral, which could cause the vehicle to move backwards unexpectedly and increase crash risk. Additionally, if the shift lever is moved from reverse to a forward gear, the transmission may mechanically lock because both gears become simultaneously engaged.

Navistar began notifying owners in November 2015 and will have dealers inspect the transmissions at no cost to the owner. Any transmission found to be defective will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-343-7357 and reference recall number 15516.
