What's recalled

Component: Fuel system

Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2017-2020 International WorkStar and International DuraStar, 2018-2019 IC 1300 FBC Commercial and IC HC Commercial, 2018-2021 IC CE Commercial, International MV and International HV, and 2019-2021 IC TC Commercial buses with Cummins B6.7 diesel engines with a fuel module option number FS90301 or FS90453. The electric fuel heater within the fuel module may overheat and cause plastic in the fuel heater to melt and potentially catch fire. It may also lead to engine stalling.

The risk

A fire increases the risk of injury. An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Cummins will notify the affected Navistar customers and dealers will disable the fuel heater by either installing a plug in place of the heater or otherwise rendering the fuel heater inoperable and removing the fuse supplying electrical power to the fuel heater and installing a cover over the wire harness connector, free of charge. The recall began May 28, 2020. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467.

Status: NHTSA lists May 28, 2020 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
