What happened

Truck-Lite Company, LLC is recalling certain right-hand incandescent halogen headlights installed on Navistar International LT-series trucks. The recalled headlights have incorrect "VOL" markings when they should be marked as "VOR." If these headlights are replaced, they may be aimed incorrectly, which decreases visibility and increases the risk of a crash.

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by Truck-Lite. The company will send owners a "DOT VOR" label to install at no charge. Owners can contact the International Trucks Customer Service Center at 1-800-448-7825 for more information.
