NHTSA Recall 20V584000
Filed by International Motors, LLC. Component: Exterior Lighting. Reported 2020-09-24. An estimated 14 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2021 International MV and HV vehicles equipped with feature code 10EWW, 10EYD, 10HYR, or 10JPJ (Fifth wheel, stationary), 10HJA (Fifth wheel, air slide) or 10WDN (Fifth wheel mounting angles). The vehicles may not have had sections of reflective tape applied to the right and left upper contours of the cab. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamp, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk
Without the reflective strips, a truck operating without a trailer at night may be less visible, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will install reflective tape to the back of the cab, free of charge. The recall began October 21, 2020. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 20508.
