Details

What's wrong: The fuse in the high beam headlight electrical circuit may blow under normal operating conditions disabling the headlights without warning, possibly resulting in reduced driver visibility.

Why it matters: Reduced driver visibility increases the risk of a crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

The fix: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will modify the wiring and install an uprated fuse, free of charge. Navistar intends to send out an interim notice to owners if parts will not be available before October 14, 2011. Owners nay contact navistar at 1-877-466-6226.
