2015 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR Complaints and Recall Information
The 2015 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR has 0 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owner feedback is minimal with no reported defects or issues documented through consumer complaints.
The recalls affecting this model involve various vehicle systems including brakes, engine components, the power train, and HVAC system. These issues concern safety-related parts that could increase the risk of fire or loss of vehicle control if not addressed.
Recalls- Air brake actuators. Recall 15V165000 affects 2,222 vehicles due to incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm in Haldex brake chambers, which may cause dragging or overheating of brakes and increase the risk of wheel end fires. Replacement of brake chambers is performed free of charge.
- Turbocharger oil supply line. Recall 15V755000 covers 60 units with Cummins Westport ISL G engines that have a potential oil leak from interference between the turbocharger oil line and other components, increasing fire risk. Dealers inspect and correct interference or replace the line at no cost.
- Engine crankcase vent tube. Recall 15V438000 involves 63 vehicles where the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube could detach, allowing engine oil to contact hot surfaces and possibly start a fire. Fixes include securing the elbow and ECM reprogramming to limit crankcase pressure.
- Lower clutch rod nut. Recall 14V606000 affects 78 vehicles where the nut fastening the lower clutch rod may be missing or improperly torqued, risking separation and sudden vehicle lunge, increasing crash risk. Dealers verify and replace the nut free of charge.
- Air disc brake calipers. Recall 14V201000 covers 297 vehicles with potentially missing or loose bolts on air disc brake calipers, which could cause uneven braking or longer stopping distances raising crash risk. Dealers replace bolts and torque check at no cost.
- HVAC linear power module. Recall 15V241000 impacts 82,736 vehicles where overvoltage from jump-start or load dump may cause overheating and failure of the HVAC blower speed control module, increasing fire risk. The module is replaced with an upgraded version free of charge.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved safety-related recalls on the 2015 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting legal resources or consumer protection authorities is advised for those affected by these issues.

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.
2015 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.
2015 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR
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.
2015 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR
2222 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 International 9900, DuraStar, LoneStar, PayStar, ProStar, WorkStar and 2015 International TranStar and IC Bus CE vehicles equipped with a Haldex air braking system. The affected brake actuators may have been manufactured with an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism. This could cause dragging or overheated brakes.
Risk: If the brakes drag and overheat there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.
2015 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.
2015 INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR
78 vehicles affected
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 International TranStar vehicles manufactured April 2, 2014, to June 18, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the nut that fastens the lower clutch rod to the bell crank arm may not have been installed or tightened to the specified torque.
Risk: A missing or insufficiently tightened nut could cause the lower clutch rod to separate from the bell crank arm, making it difficult to shift the transmission. If the lower clutch rod separates while the vehicle is stopped and the clutch pedal is depressed with the engine running, or it separates during deceleration, the vehicle may lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear. Any of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.
