2011 Workhorse W42 & 2011 Workhorse W46 recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011 W42 and W46 workhorse chassis manufactured from january 1, 2011, through may 25, 2011. The steering wheel components do not meet design specifications. As a result, the steering wheel inner piece may separate from the outer piece, which may decrease the driver's ability to control the vehicle.
💥 The risk
Decreased driver control may increase the risk of a crash resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
🔧 The fix
Navistar will notify owners and dealers will replace the suspect steering wheel free of charge. The safety recall began on august 12, 2011. 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.)
