2017 International Prostar Recall 2018475 5 Sep 2018 3,970 units in Canada

Engine

On certain trucks built with a Cummins X15 or ISX15 engine equipped with nylon fuel lines and a banjo bolt on the fuel pump, a blockage in the fuel cooling system may cause a fuel line to burst. This could result in a significant fuel leak onto the roadway, which would create a road hazard for other motorists. Additionally, this condition could also cause an engine stall without warning, without the ability to restart the engine. Both of these conditions may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Cummins-authorized dealers will replace the affected nylon line with a steel line.

2017 International Prostar Recall 2017140 14 Mar 2017 663 units in Canada

Brakes

On certain vehicles, the air dryer mounting bracket may fracture and cause the air dryer to separate the frame. This could potentially cause the air lines to separate from the dryer resulting in an air system leak or loss of air pressure to the brake system, which would increase stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the air dryer mounting bracket with an updated heavy duty bracket.

2017 International Prostar Recall 2016648 21 Dec 2016 62 units in Canada

Electrical

On some vehicles, the metallic battery box cover latch, when unlatched from its anchor, may articulate and potentially contact the battery jump start stud.

Correction: Dealers will install a latch stop to prevent the latch from potentially contacting the stud.

2014 International Prostar Recall 2016373 26 Jul 2016 52 units in Canada

Electrical

On certain vehicles equipped with the battery box mounted between the frame rails, the battery mounted cube fuse terminal connection could potentially break. A broken cube fuse terminal connection could cause the cab to lose all power which would result in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the cube fuse with a chassis mounted power distribution module (PDM) inside the battery box.

2014 International Prostar Recall 2015546 18 Nov 2015 1,466 units in Canada

Engine

On certain vehicles equipped with Navistar engines, the accelerator pedal position sensor could move on its mounting bracket if the pedal is depressed with excessive force. If the sensor stator were to move out of position, it could change the sensor signal output, resulting in a high idle. On vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, if the clutch were to be depressed during operation, the engine could rise to governed RPMs resulting in difficulty selecting gears while shifting. In the condition of a loaded vehicle going down a long grade, the inability to down shift could cause difficulty in maintaining or reducing vehicle speed with just the service brakes, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will recalibrate the engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) to eliminate the high idle condition.

2011 International Prostar Recall 2015434 28 Sep 2015 188 units in Canada

Structure

On certain vehicles, the fifth wheel locking mechanisms could be susceptible to damage and/or wear. This could cause the locking mechanism to fail properly engage, potentially resulting in a towed trailer unit separating from the truck tractor. As a result, the trailer could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Fontaine dealers will replace all Ultra LT fifth wheel units with Ultra NT model fifth wheel units.
