International LoneStar and ProStar Recall Over Brake Concerns
Semi Truck Recall
A trailer brake problem prompted Navistar, Inc., to recall 2009 and 2010 models of its International LoneStar and ProStar semi trucks, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The semi truck recall involves 1,437 International ProStar and LoneStar trucks that are equipped with feature code 04AZT roll stability control (RSC) system.
The RSC system is an electronic safety system that involves sensors that detect potential rollover situations, and automatically apply brakes to avoid a rollover. An air line may have been connected incorrectly on the recalled trucks, which affects air modulation to the trailer brakes if the RSC system is activated during a roll stability event. According to the NHTSA:
“LESS THAN OPTIMAL RSC CONTROL OF THE TRAILER BRAKES DURING A ROLL STABILITY EVENT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.”
Dealers will inspect and fix the air line that may be incorrectly connected at no charge.
