Recalls issued for certain International, Peterbilt trucks
An issue that could cause a fuel leak has prompted Navistar to recall approximately 1,780 International trucks, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents.
The recall affects model year 2018-2019 International DuraStar and WorkStar models, 2019-2021 International HV and MV models, as well as 2019-2021 IC Bus RE models.
Navistar says the sealing washer in the affected trucks may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high-pressure fuel rail assembly to leak.
Dealers will inspect the rail threads and replace the rail as necessary, for free. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. NHTSA’s recall number is 21V-366.
