- Summary
- Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012 and 2013 international workstar trucks manufactured from November 15, 2010, through March 6, 2012, and equipped with headlights in the bumper. The headlight beam circuit and the ground circuit are switched at the headlight connector. The switched circuits affects the headlights wattage, resulting in the bumper headlight being dimmer than allowed by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
- Consequence
- A driver's reduced visibility or the trucks reduced visibility due to inadequate headlight wattage, may increase the risk of a crash.

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.
