International Prostar recalls

• Recall 24V818000Oct 31, 2024105,276 vehiclesModel years 2022

  Risk: Safety systems that depend on the ECU (Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collison Mitigation System) may have diminished or lost functionality, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 23V353000May 18, 202332,880 vehiclesModel years 2008–2018

  Risk: An overheated electrical circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

• Recall 19V122000Feb 26, 201924,173 vehiclesModel years 2017–2018

  Risk: If the exhaust tail pipe detaches from the vehicle while being driven, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.

• Recall 18V826000Nov 21, 201821,740 vehiclesModel years 2018–2019

  Risk: Unintended vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash.

• Recall 18V588000Sep 5, 201826,288 vehiclesModel years 2017–2018

  Risk: If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road resulting in a roadway hazard for other motorists. The engine may also stall without warning, resulting in the vehicle's inability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 18V293000May 3, 201818,665 vehiclesModel years 2018–2019

  Risk: If the D-ring bolt breaks during a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing their risk of injury.

• Recall 17V792000Dec 11, 201710,195 vehiclesModel years 2012–2017

  Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

• Recall 17V575000Sep 20, 20171,175 vehiclesModel years 2016

  Risk: If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 17V174000Mar 14, 20172,786 vehiclesModel years 2016–2017

  Risk: A loss of brake air pressure could lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 16V938000Dec 28, 2016294 vehiclesModel years 2017

  Risk: An electrical short to ground increases the risk of a fire.

• Recall 16V556000Jul 26, 20163,952 vehiclesModel years 2014–2017

  Risk: An unexpected engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

• Recall 16V453000Jun 21, 20161,191 vehiclesModel years 2017

  Risk: An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

• Recall 15V776000Nov 20, 201515,730 vehiclesModel years 2013–2014

  Risk: A high engine idle may make downshifting the transmission difficult and the engine brake may be disabled. These factors may hinder slowing down the truck when descending a long grade, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 15V693000Oct 23, 20155 vehiclesModel years 2016

  Risk: Even though the transmission has been shifted out of reverse into neutral, the vehicle may unexpectedly move backwards, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 15V631000Oct 8, 201574 vehiclesModel years 2016

  Risk: An engine that stalls without warning increases the risk of a crash.

• Recall 15V607000Sep 29, 20153,776 vehiclesModel years 2011–2014

  Risk: If the fifth wheel and locking mechanism are sufficiently damaged, the locking mechanism may fail to operate as intended and the trailer may unexpectedly detach from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 15V241000Apr 22, 201582,736 vehiclesModel years 2011–2015

  Risk: If the LPM overheats and fails, there is an increased risk of a fire.

• Recall 15V165000Mar 23, 20152,222 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

  Risk: If the brakes drag and overheat there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.

• Recall 14V688000Oct 31, 201418,798 vehiclesModel years 2009–2015

  Risk: An increase in resistance and heating at the connectors could cause a vehicle fire.

• Recall 14V201000Apr 17, 2014297 vehiclesModel years 2014–2015

  Risk: If the air disk brake caliper has loose or missing bolts, the air disk brake caliper may come loose from the mounting plate causing the vehicle to pull left or right while braking and lengthening the distance needed to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 14V107000Mar 7, 2014124 vehiclesModel years 2014

  Risk: The partial engagement could cause the axle shaft splines or side gears to fail which may result in loss of power to the drive wheels causing the vehicle to stall on the roadway, increasing the risk of a crash.

• Recall 14V064000Feb 20, 20141,196 vehiclesModel years 2012–2013

  Risk: S-cam bracket fractures may result in an inoperative brake on the affected wheel. This will cause the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly during braking and/or increase the stopping distance. Either result may increase the risk of a crash.

• Recall 13V581000Nov 20, 20132,622 vehiclesModel years 2013–2014

  Risk: A hole in the tank would allow fuel to leak onto the roadway causing dangerous driving conditions, which could result in a vehicle crash, property damage, personal injury, or death.

• Recall 13V439000Sep 18, 201316,107 vehiclesModel years 2008–2013

  Risk: Because of the improper orientation, in the event of an air leakage at the isolation/vent valve, the 5th wheel jaw may release, unexpectedly releasing the trailer from the tractor, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
