What the defect is
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 international prostar and lonestar trucks equipped with feature code 04AZT roll stability control. The air line that supplies the traction solenoid valve of the roll stability control (rsc) system may have been connected to an incorrect port on the air tank. This condition will affect air modulation to the trailer brakes if rsc is activated during a roll stability event. This condition at no time affects the normal design function of the tractor and trailer service brakes when activated by the driver, or the function of the tractor rsc system.
What could happen
Less than optimal rsc control of the trailer brakes during a roll stability event may increase the risk of a crash which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
What gets fixed
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND RELOCATE THE AIR LINE THAT SUPPLIES THE RSC TRACTION SOLENOID VALVE TO THE CORRECT PORT ON THE AIR TANK. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 19, 2010.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 3 February 2010.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
