The problem

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012 and 2013 international workstar trucks manufactured from november 15, 2010, through march 6, 2012, and equipped with headlights in the bumper. The headlight beam circuit and the ground circuit are switched at the headlight connector. The switched circuits affects the headlights wattage, resulting in the bumper headlight being dimmer than allowed by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

The risk

A driver's reduced visibility or the truck’s reduced visibility due to inadequate headlight wattage, may increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on april 23, 2012. Owners may contact navistar at 1-260-461-1890.
