9 recalls found in NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026

For the 2008 International Prostar. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your International been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A International dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Summary
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2000-2003 International 8100, 2001-2003 International 9100i, 2001-2007 International 9400i, 2001-2010 International 9200i, 2002-2007, 2009 International 8500, 2003-2007, 2013 International 9900i, 2003-2018 International 8600, 2004, 2007 International 9900iX, 2008-2018 International ProStar, 2010-2011, 2013, 2016 International LoneStar, 2011-2012, 2016 International 4400, 2017-2024 International LT, 2018-2024 International RH, 2019-2021 International LS, 2019-2024 International MV vehicles. The back-up lights offer low visibility when the vehicle is in reverse and bobtail mode. Also, the vehicles have not been equipped with additional unobstructed back-up lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence
Low visibility or obstructed back up lights may not alert other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the existing rear stop/turn signal lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 06, 2024. Owners may contact Navistar's customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 23514.

Equipment

Summary
Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 International LoneStar, ProStar, and TranStar trucks manufactured February 20, 2008, through July 29, 2013 and equipped with an electronic fifth wheel jaw release system (feature code 0595BAW or 0595BAY). Due to an assembly error, the air lines at the isolation/vent valve may not be oriented correctly.
Consequence
Because of the improper orientation, in the event of an air leakage at the isolation/vent valve, the 5th wheel jaw may release, unexpectedly releasing the trailer from the tractor, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air line routing. If necessary, the air line routing will be corrected free of charge. The recall began on October 10, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's recall number is 13514.

Visibility › Rear window wiper/washer › Linkages

Summary
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 international prostar and lonestar heavy trucks manufactured from January 2, 2007 through June 1, 2010. The passenger side windshield wiper linkage rod may separate from either the wiper drive arm or passenger side pivot assembly.
Consequence
When the linkage separates, the passenger side wiper arm will no longer operate which could lead to reduced driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Navistar will notify owners and international dealers will replace the windshield wiper linkage assembly free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about December 17, 2010. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

November 24, 2008NHTSA 08V61800014,048 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Supply › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary
Navistar is recalling 14,048 my 2008-2010 lonestar and prostar trucks. The service brake air line that runs from the tractor protection valve to the fast brake module may separate from the fast brake module resulting in loss of trailer service brakes.
Consequence
Loss of trailer service brakes may cause a crash resulting in possible property damage, personal injury, or death.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fast brake modules and the air lines running to the module will be rerouted to eliminate line tension caused by cab to frame relative motion. The recall began on March 20, 2009. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.

Electrical system

Summary
Navistar is recalling 51,588 heavy trucks, commercial buses and school buses manufactured between November 21, 2000 and may 21, 2008, equipped with one or more remote power modules. The potting material that encapsulates the circuit board of the vehicle's remote power module may not sufficiently seal the circuit board from water and contamination intrusion. If the encapsulation is compromised, water and contaminants may cause an internal electrical short, possibly resulting in a fire.
Consequence
A fire could cause personal injury or death.
Remedy
Navistar will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on July 10, 2008. Owners may contact navistar at 1-280-461-1890.

February 29, 2008NHTSA 08V097000579 vehicles potentially affected

Parking brake › Conventional › Air

Summary
International is recalling my 2008-2009 4000, 5000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and prostar tractor/trucks equipped with bendix MV-3 dash control valves. The molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. This condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged in the body opening under certain circumstances.
Consequence
If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the bendix MV-3 dash control valves free of charge. The recall began on may 9, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Structure › Body › Hood › Hinge and attachments

Summary
On certain trucks, the retention system of the pin that attaches the hood travel limiting shock to the mounting bracket on top of the radiator may become disabled due to interference between it and the grab handle pocket of the hood. This could allow the pin to work out of the connection resulting in the hood separating from the shock.
Consequence
With the vehicle in a stationary position, this condition may cause a situation where the individual opening the hood would have to manually support the weight of the hood without warning which could result in personal injury.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the hood/hood travel limiting shock connection pin and pin retention system with a system that does not interfere with the hood grab handle pocket. The recall began on April 11, 2008. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Fuel system, diesel

Summary
On certain trucks equipped with davco fuel pro 382 heated fuel filters, when the key is in the 'on' position, the pre-heater, located in the fuel filter base, is energized.
Consequence
If this pre-heater is energized while maintenance is being performed on the fuel filter, diesel fuel could ignite within the filter housing. A fire within the fuel filter housing may spread possibly resulting in property damage or personal injury.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the fuel filters and fuel heaters and, if necessary, will replace the fuel heater. The recall began on may 11, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Suspension › Rear › Axle › Non-powered axle assembly

Summary
On certain trucks, one or both rear axle housings may contain thinner material than what is necessary for normal vehicle operation. Over time, this thinner material may result in a fatigue failure of the rear axle housing, possibly in the location of the brake flange.
Consequence
A crack in the brake flange location of the rear axle housing may result in a wheel end lockup or wheel separation possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the vehicle's rear axles and, if necessary, replace the axle housings. The recall began on may 18, 2007. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7815.
