2012 International Durastar & 2012 International Workstar recall: seats

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012 International DuraStar and Workstar commercial trucks, manufactured from April 26, 2011, through December 19, 2011, and equipped with a 7 degree passenger seat (feature code 16JAJ or SCBA). During a load test, the front passenger seat separated from its mounting rails. Thus, the vehicles failed to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 207, "Seating Systems."

💥 The risk

In the event of a crash, the seat may may come loose resulting in an increased risk of injury to the seat occupant.

🔧 The fix

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat adjuster rail, anchor plate, and mounting hardware, free of charge. The safety recall began on December 18, 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.)
