NHTSA complaints per International Transtar model year. Click a bar for details.

Newer model years have had less time on the road, so they naturally have fewer complaints. Compare a year against its neighbors rather than against brand-new models.

International Transtar recalls

  • Recall 23V248000Apr 6, 202342,054 vehiclesModel years 2016–2017

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

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

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

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

    Risk: If the D-ring bolt breaks during a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing their 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 16V938000Dec 28, 2016294 vehiclesModel years 2017

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

  • 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 15V755000Nov 16, 201560 vehiclesModel years 2014–2015

    Risk: If the turbocharger oil supply line oil leaks in the proximity of the engine exhaust manifold there would be an increased risk of a fire.

  • 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 15V607000Sep 29, 20153,776 vehiclesModel years 2011–2013

    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 15V438000Jul 8, 201563 vehiclesModel years 2013–2015

    Risk: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

  • 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

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

  • Recall 14V606000Sep 29, 201478 vehiclesModel years 2015

    Risk: A missing or insufficiently tightened nut could cause the lower clutch rod to separate from the bell crank arm, making it difficult to shift the transmission. If the lower clutch rod separates while the vehicle is stopped and the clutch pedal is depressed with the engine running, or it separates during deceleration, the vehicle may lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear. Any of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.

  • 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 14V238000Apr 3, 201449 vehiclesModel years 2014

    Risk: The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.

  • 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.

  • Recall 13V231000Jun 4, 20137,756 vehiclesModel years 2012–2013

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

  • Recall 13V146000Apr 17, 201314,720 vehiclesModel years 2011–2013

    Risk: If the sun shade separates from the cab roof during vehicle operation, the sudden release of the sun shade could distract the driver increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 12V546000Nov 21, 20124,747 vehiclesModel years 2012–2013

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

  • Recall 12V403000Aug 14, 2012956 vehiclesModel years 2011–2013

    Risk: An unexpected pull condition during braking application or an unexpected increase in stopping distance, increases the risk of a crash, leading to property damage, personal injury, or death.

  • Recall 12V196000May 2, 201219,264 vehiclesModel years 2010–2013

    Risk: An electrical short may cause a vehicle fire possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

  • Recall 12V052000Feb 13, 201217,867 vehiclesModel years 2011–2013

    Risk: Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the brakes to overheat and lead to a fire. Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning to other drivers.

  • Recall 11V426000Aug 17, 20115,663 vehiclesModel years 2010–2012

    Risk: An electrical short may cause a vehicle fire possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

  • Recall 11V252000Apr 19, 20112,543 vehiclesModel years 2011–2012

    Risk: An inoperable trailer abs fault indicator may prevent the driver from being aware of a trailer abs fault condition thereby possibly increasing the risk of a crash potentially resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
