2013 International Lonestar & 2013 International Prostar + 1 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2013 International brand LoneStar, ProStar, and WorkStar commercial trucks, manufactured from April 22, 2012, through October 29, 2012, and equipped with steering wheel feature codes 05CAW, 05CAX, 05CAZ, 05CBA, or 05WBD. The steering wheel may not have been completely welded to its mounting hub.
💥 The risk
A steering wheel with an incomplete weld may separate from the steering wheel mounting hub, leading to a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace affected steering wheels, free of charge. The safety recall began on November 21, 2012. 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.)
