ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017-2018 International ProStar and 9900i trucks, 2018-2019 International LT trucks, 2017-2019 International LoneStar and HX trucks and 2017 International PayStar trucks, equipped with Cummins ISX15 or X15 diesel engines. In certain driving conditions, such as on a long down-hill grade, the fuel line may burst if the fuel pump cooling circuit screen becomes restricted.
Risk: If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road resulting in a roadway hazard for other motorists. The engine may also stall without warning, resulting in the vehicle's inability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:COMPRESSOR
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2018-2019 International HX and LT trucks equipped with a Cummins ISX engine and a Wabco 37.4 air compressor. The air compressor discharge line may contact the fuel filter inlet and outlet lines (fuel lines) and the heat generated from the air compressor discharge line may cause heat damage to the fuel lines.
Risk: Continued heat damage to the fuel lines could cause the fuel lines to rupture, resulting in a fuel leak and increasing the risk of a fire.
2018 INTERNATIONAL HX
72 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017-2019 International HX severe service diesel trucks equipped with feature code 04091 (dual air brake system) and 04AZY (Antilock Brake System (ABS) with 6 channel Electronic Stability Protection (ESP)). The air supply line to the SR7 roll stability valve may have been improperly routed to the ATR6 brake control valve steer axle delivery port, when it should be connected to the ATR6 brake control valve control port.
Risk: During a stability control oversteer event when there are slippery road conditions, the parking brakes may be modulated unintentionally, potentially causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
2018 INTERNATIONAL HX
224 vehicles affected
FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
Navistar Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2018 International LT and HX severe service diesel trucks equipped with Cummins ISX 15L engines. These engines have a fuel pump whose drive gear could possibly slip on its drive shaft, causing a fuel pump function loss, resulting in an engine stall.
Risk: An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
