Recall Summary:
Navistar, inc. (navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 International transtar vehicles manufactured April 10, 2012, to December 12, 2014. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
How to Fix:
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of navistar, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow. In addition, the electronic control module (ecm) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825, or cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.
