Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling approximately 130 model-year 2019 International Workstar and International HV vehicles equipped with Meritor MX-14-120 EVO steer axles.
The axles may have insufficient lubrication, which may result in damage to the wheel end bearings. If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separated and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash.
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steer axle wheel hubs for proper fluid level and repair any damaged wheel end components and spindles, as necessary, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin May 1, 2020. Navistar's number for this recall is 20503.
Owners may contact Navistar customer service at (800) 448-7825 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at (888) 327-4236
