2015 International Transtar recall: powertrain & transmission

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured April 2, 2014, to June 18, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the nut that fastens the lower clutch rod to the bell crank arm may not have been installed or tightened to the specified torque.

💥 The risk

A missing or insufficiently tightened nut could cause the lower clutch rod to separate from the bell crank arm, making it difficult to shift the transmission. If the lower clutch rod separates while the vehicle is stopped and the clutch pedal is depressed with the engine running, or it separates during deceleration, the vehicle may lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear. Any of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Navistar has notified owners, and dealers will replace any missing lower clutch rod nut, and verify that the nut is correctly torqued, free of charge. The recall began in late October 2014. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 14515.

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.)
