Navistar issues recall due to insufficient wiring, possible fire risk
Thousands of trucks manufactured under the Navistar umbrella are being recalled due to a wiring issue that could pose as a fire risk.

WASHINGTON — Navistar has issued a significant recall involving 44,887 units due to wiring issues.

According to a filing with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall affects certain certain 2016-20 International DuraStar, WorkStar and 2017-18 International TranStar models, as well as 2018 International ProStar, 2020 International HV, MV and 2018 IC Bus HC Commercial buses.

Every last one of you manufacturing facilities should have stood up to the government regulators, and said “no!” to these garbage emission guidelines. These junk engines, especially navistar, and paccar: have put more trucking companies, and owner operators out of business, than anything else. You should be embarrassed for selling junk!
