International recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 International Lonestar vehicles manufactured October 12, 2009, to June 16, 2014, and 2009-2015 International ProStar vehicles manufactured December 16, 2008, to June 20, 2014. In the affected vehicles the electrical harness that supplies power to the HVAC system may not be of sufficient size for the electrical load of the circuit. This can result in an increase in resistance and heating at the connectors.
What could happen
An increase in resistance and heating at the connectors could cause a vehicle fire.
The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 60 amp relay and battery harness with a 150 amp relay and battery harness, free of charge. Navistar issued an interim notification to owners on December 29, 2014. The recall began on March 2, 2015. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall is 14516.
