2018 INTERNATIONAL DURASTAR Complaints and Recall Information
The 2018 INTERNATIONAL DURASTAR has 0 complaints and 9 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owner reports often involve issues related to various vehicle systems, including the engine, fuel system, electrical components, seat belts, and safety equipment.
There are nine recalls affecting multiple systems such as the electrical wiring, engine control, fuel system components, exterior lighting, seat belt anchorages, and onboard safety equipment.
Recalls- Electrical system wiring. Recall 23V248000 affects 42,054 vehicles. The HVAC blower motor circuit may have an insufficient wiring terminal that can overheat, increasing fire risk. Dealers will replace the wiring terminal free of charge.
- Engine control module. Recalls 19V841000 and 20V810000 cover over 29,000 vehicles. When the parking brake is applied and the transmission is in drive or reverse, engaging the stationary PTO switch causes the engine RPM to rise and may overcome the parking brake, risking unintended vehicle movement and crashes. Dealers will update the ECM software to enable a PTO neutral interlock at no cost.
- Fuel system pre-heater. Recalls 19V216000 and 20V219000 impact over 50,000 vehicles with Cummins B6.7 diesel engines. The electric fuel heater may overheat, causing plastic to melt and potentially catch fire; it may also stall the engine. The fix involves either replacing the fuel heater or disabling it and removing its fuse, performed by dealers free of charge.
- Fuel rail sealing washer. Recall 21V366000 affects 1,780 vehicles. An incorrectly seated sealing washer may cause high-pressure fuel rail assembly leaks, increasing fire risk. Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel rail as needed at no cost.
- Brake lights. Recall 19V239000 involves 7 vehicles with specific Whelen brake lights that may illuminate without brake pedal application, confusing other drivers. Owners will receive replacement lights free of charge from Whelen.
- Seat belt anchorages. Recall 18V293000 includes 18,665 vehicles. The front driver and passenger seat belt anchor D-ring bolt may break in a crash, preventing proper occupant restraint and increasing injury risk. Dealers will replace the bolt free of charge.
- Fire extinguisher equipment. Recall 17V792000 covers 10,195 vehicles. Certain Kidde fire extinguishers may clog, require excessive force to activate, or detach parts, potentially preventing operation during a fire. Owners will receive replacement extinguishers from Kidde at no cost.
Owners dealing with multiple safety-related recalls or repeated repairs may have rights under their state lemon law. Those facing unresolved recall issues or persistent defects should consider consulting a qualified attorney specializing in consumer protection and lemon law.
