2014 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR Complaints and Recall Information
The 2014 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR has 0 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owner reports most frequently involve recall issues related to engine components, brake systems, and HVAC system electrical components.
There are six recalls affecting this vehicle. They involve systems such as the engine and engine cooling, vehicle speed control, air disc brakes, and the HVAC power module. The recalls address risks including potential fire hazards and brake malfunctions.
Recalls- Engine intake sensor. Recall 14V238000 affects 49 vehicles with Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Condensation can freeze in the intake manifold and disrupt the pressure sensor, increasing fire risk from elevated exhaust temperatures. The fix involves uploading a new ECM calibration free of charge.
- Turbocharger oil line. Recall 15V755000 affects 60 vehicles equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Oil supply lines may contact other components causing oil leaks near the exhaust manifold, raising fire risk. Dealers will inspect and replace oil lines as necessary.
- Accelerator pedal sensor. Recall 15V776000 involves 15,730 vehicles including the TranStar with a sensor that may cause high engine idle. This can hinder transmission downshifting and disable the engine brake, increasing crash risk. Dealers will recalibrate the ECM free of charge.
- Engine crankcase vent. Recall 15V438000 affects 63 vehicles where excessive crankcase pressure may detach the vent tube elbow. This could allow oil to contact hot surfaces, raising fire risk. Dealers will secure the elbow and reprogram the ECM software.
- Air disc brake caliper. Recall 14V201000 covers 297 vehicles with possible missing or loose bolts mounting the air disc brake caliper. This may cause the caliper to come loose, leading to uneven braking and increased crash risk. Missing bolts will be replaced and torque checked.
- HVAC power module. Recall 15V241000 includes 82,736 vehicles experiencing potential overvoltage in the HVAC linear power module, which could overheat and fail, increasing fire risk. Dealers will replace the module with an upgraded part free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues may have rights under state lemon laws. Consulting with a consumer protection attorney could provide guidance for addressing defective vehicle concerns.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:FAN/MOTOR
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 International DuraStar, ProStar, TranStar and WorkStar, 2012-2015 International TerraStar, 2013-2015 International LoneStar and IC Bus HC, and 2014-2015 IC Bus AC vehicles. A vehicle double battery jump start or electrical load dump event could result in an overvoltage condition of a component within the HVAC system linear power module (LPM) which is used to control the blower speed. The overvoltage condition could result in the overheating and failure of the LPM.
Risk: If the LPM overheats and fails, there is an increased risk of a fire.
2014 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR
63 vehicles affected
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured April 10, 2012, to December 12, 2014. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
Risk: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
2014 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR
15730 vehicles affected
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 International ProStar and DuraStar trucks manufactured April 26, 2012, to April 4, 2013, WorkStar trucks manufactured April 27, 2012, to March 29, 2013, LoneStar trucks manufactured May 21, 2012, to April 2, 2013, and TranStar trucks manufactured April 30, 2012, to March 25, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the accelerator pedal position sensor can move and result in a high engine idle.
Risk: A high engine idle may make downshifting the transmission difficult and the engine brake may be disabled. These factors may hinder slowing down the truck when descending a long grade, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

60 vehicles affected
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured March 5, 2013, to December 12, 2014, equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines manufactured September 13, 2007, to September 23, 2015. These engines have a turbocharger oil supply line that may contact or interfere with the turbocharger inlet elbow, clean air intake clamp, or the air fuel control tube, and result in an oil leak.
Risk: If the turbocharger oil supply line oil leaks in the proximity of the engine exhaust manifold there would be an increased risk of a fire.
2014 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR
297 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 International DuraStar vehicles manufactured November 2012 through December 2013, International WorkStar vehicles manufactured December 2012 through January 2014, and 2014-2015 International TranStar and International ProStar vehicles manufactured January 2013 through February 2014. The affected vehicles are built with air disc brake feature codes 04WEY, 04WEZ, or 04WZK. These vehicles may have an incorrect number of bolts mounting the brake caliper to the caliper mounting plate and some of the bolts may be improperly torqued.
Risk: If the air disk brake caliper has loose or missing bolts, the air disk brake caliper may come loose from the mounting plate causing the vehicle to pull left or right while braking and lengthening the distance needed to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
2014 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR
49 vehicles affected
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2014 International TranStar trucks manufactured in March 2013 and equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G compressed natural gas engines (feature code 12CBA). Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.
Risk: The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
