- Summary
- Navistar is recalling certain 2012 international prostar commercial trucks manufactured from March 22, 2011, through December 9, 2011, equipped with feature code 04AZX meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC) units. Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (ESC) system. This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
- Consequence
- If the driver is slow to react during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will install a new ESC module free of charge. The safety recall began during February 2012. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
- Notes
- Navistar's campaign number is 11522.OWNERS may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

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.
