2008–2010 International Lonestar & 2008–2010 International Prostar recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar is recalling 14,048 my 2008-2010 Lonestar and Prostar trucks. The service brake air line that runs from the tractor protection valve to the fast brake module may separate from the fast brake module resulting in loss of trailer service brakes.

💥 The risk

Loss of trailer service brakes may cause a crash resulting in possible property damage, personal injury, or death.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will replace the fast brake modules and the air lines running to the module will be rerouted to eliminate line tension caused by cab to frame relative motion. The recall began on march 20, 2009. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
