2011–2013 International Prostar & 2012–2013 International Durastar + 2 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2013 International 8600, 2012 and 2013 Durastar, 2011-2013 ProStar, and 2012 WorkStar trucks, manufactured from November 23, 2010, through April 02, 2012, and equipped with piston spring brake feature code 04EVP. The piston bore area of the parking brake chamber may have an air leak could result in the parking brake not fully releasing.
💥 The risk
If the parking brake does not fully release, the service brakes may lock up without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the spring brake chamber free of charge. The safety recall began on November 6, 2012. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590.
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.)
